Will apple warranty cover whatever happen to my iphone 6+ while charging? Read for more?
I lost the charger that came with the phone and resorted to using an old piece of cr*p from a blackberry phone. It did the job but my iphone 6 plus was taking like 10 hours to charge. I don't even sleep ten hours.
I looked up online why it was taking so long and everyone was telling me to buy a charger with more amps so I bought a 3amp charger and my phone started charging in just two hours which was great. So I thought more amps the better. I went on Amazon and found a USB power cable adapter which had usb on one end and one of those circular plugs on the other end to plug into adapters. Then I bought on of those male to female adapters.
I had a 20amp powersupply at 16v from an old amplifier. I plugged in the powersupply, then the usb cable, then the gender reversing adapter, then the iphone cord, and plugged it into my phone. The screen got hilariously bright and it was charging. I could actually see the percentage going up and the phone was getting really hot which I know means it is charging good. I thought I made a great invention until I heard a pop and smoke came from the phone.
Will apple cover this?
No, apple will not cover you overloading and burning out your phone.
FYI, keep the phone in something metal, since you have damage the battery, which contains Lithium, a highly reactive metal, it's a fire risk now.
do not keep your phone somewhere that is flammable, keep it in a metal tin away from anything that can catch fire, the lithium battery can explode.
stick to using a normal charger if you ever get a new phone.
You found things on Amazon to rig up the so-called "charger" that you made… So why didn't you just buy a new charger on Amazon? They sell for less than $12.

And no, Apple will not cover damage done to the phone by a non approved charger.
Not if you use a power supply, not recommended by them.

- Will apple still cover me with their 1 year apple warranty? My uncle gave me his iPhone 4S as a gift, it has warranty until November 2013 and for some reason the phone turns off by itself about every 3 hours! The phone does not have any water damage as the water indicators are white, will apple still cover me on fixing it or giving me another one since I'm not the original owner but the phone is still under their warranty!
