Third party iPhone charger? How fast can it cause damage?
I have always known using third party no name iPhone chargers can wreck your iPhone and stop it from charging properly, so I avoided. But I plugged my iPhone into my friends charger which I realized after was not an apple charger, it was only plugged in for 5-10 minutes before I removed it- could it possibly have already done some damage to my phone? I can't tell if my phone is charging slower or if I'm worrying myself over nothing!
It is unlikely that the charger did any damage. Anything that can provide clean USB power will work, although I still prefer Apple chargers myself.
As long as it is a 5V power source, the make of it has no effect, it will charge the phone exactly the same.
I routinely use a cheap four-output charger for my iphone and other gadgets as it's more convenient that several individual chargers.
It will not do any harm.
- Why is it called third party? Who are the first and second party? So like in iPhone, you are not allowed to use a third part charger because it is not supported but I was wondering if there's a first party or a second party charger that exists?
- Nightshift for iPhone 5C? Third party app recommendation? Ok so as you may know, iOS 9.3 came with the new nightshift feature which makes your screen more yellow allowing for better sleep. However, this feature is not included for iPhone 5C and down (5, 4S). Is there a third party app from the internet that allows the same effects? No jailbreaking required please. Link if possible. I do have a Mac if needed.
- Moving data from old iphone to new- third party software? Anyone recommend some programs to move all my data (contacts, messages, app data i.e. Game scores, photos/videos, etc) from one iphone to another? Without using iTunes back up thing
- Is it safe to use third party iphone cords? I bought an iphone 5 cord at my local hardware store and it was $6. Usually these cords are about $20 or so. Would it be safe to use it? It says made in china.
