A while ago I bought several Apple wireless charger pads (Qi/Magsafe). But I didn't buy them directly from Apple. After rather surprising issues (one broke, one makes noises while charging, some do not charge AirPods, etc) I finally decided to open one up.

They are fakes. Unbelievably convincing fakes. With perfect packaging.

Here are quick pictures of the fake USB plug and mainboard, and what the originals should look like.

From now on, I'm only ever buying Apple stuff directly from Apple.
