You can check if your Apple 20W charger is original by verifying the batch code on Apple's official website, inspecting the build quality, and checking the USB-C port finish. In Pakistan, the safest way to guarantee an original Apple 20W charger is to buy from a batch-verified reseller like iSmart Hub — with Cash on Delivery so you can inspect before paying.
Apple 20W Charger Original vs Fake — How to Check in Pakistan 2026
Pakistan's market is flooded with fake Apple chargers. From Karachi's Saddar electronics market to random online listings, counterfeit Apple 20W chargers are everywhere — and they look convincing. A fake charger doesn't just underperform; it can damage your iPhone's battery or, in worst cases, cause overheating. This guide gives you every method to spot a fake before it's too late.
5 Ways to Check if Your Apple 20W Charger is Original
1. Batch Code Verification (Most Reliable)
Every genuine Apple charger has a batch code printed on the body. Go to checkcoverage.apple.com, enter the serial/batch number, and Apple will confirm if it's a registered product. Fake chargers either have no code, a blank result, or a recycled code from a different product.
2. Check the USB-C Port
On an original Apple 20W charger, the USB-C port has a clean, symmetrical finish with a smooth metal insert. Fake chargers often have a slightly off-centre port, rough edges, or a plastic insert instead of metal. Plug in your cable — it should click in firmly with no wobble.
3. Read the Text on the Body
Original Apple chargers have crisp, laser-etched text with consistent font weight. Look for: "Designed by Apple in California" and the wattage rating. On fakes, the text is often slightly blurry, uses the wrong font, or has spelling errors. The regulatory markings (CE, BIS, etc.) are also frequently missing or incorrect on counterfeits.
4. Weight and Build Quality
Genuine Apple 20W chargers have a solid, slightly heavy feel due to quality internal components. Fake chargers feel noticeably lighter and hollow. The plug pins on originals are firm and don't wiggle — on fakes they often have slight play.
5. Charging Speed Test
Connect your iPhone 12 or later to the charger and check the charging speed in Settings → Battery. An original Apple 20W charger will fast charge your iPhone, reaching 50% in approximately 30 minutes. If it's charging at the same speed as a 5W brick, it's almost certainly fake regardless of what the label says.
