At the end of November, we purchased 13 Apple Lightning data cables and conducted detailed tests on their current and voltage stability. We found that the data lines with MFi certification are indeed better than the data lines without MFi certification, and the current and voltage at the time of charging are indeed Stable a lot.
In addition, we also have an unexpected gain, that is detected 7 models labeled with Apple MFi certification data line in the 2 MFi certification data line there is a virtual standard, false standard suspected , They are 25.9 yuan imu magic sound 1.2 m Apple MFi certification data line and 39.9 yuan Meiko excellence 1 m Apple MFi certification data cable.
The results of these two data lines on the MFi detector are not "original", indicating that they use the MFi chip may not be certified cracked products.
Then, according to the bar code of the two products, we check the certification status of the two data lines on the MFi authorized accessories inquiry page of Apple and confirm that both data lines pass the Apple MFi authorized.
Apple's official website can be found imu fantastic sound and reputation of an excellent product two lines of MFi authorized information
Then why do we actually buy the products in the test results are displayed in non-original MFi chip? It is understood that due to the MFi chip is the need to purchase a unified by Apple, the higher the cost, so there will be manufacturers in the certification, in order to save costs will be used Cracked chip.
In order to further verify the authenticity of the MFi certification of the two data lines, we purchased a total of four imu fantastic and prestigious products of the same type from the two channels of JD.com and Lynx flagship stores respectively.
testing sample
25.9 yuan imu magic ring 1.2 m Apple MFi certification data cable
The newly purchased imu cable has a different packaging than the one we bought earlier, but the same one is based on the product bar code. Looking at the picture, we found two new data lines that we bought from different sources. different.
Comparison of two packages.
The shape of the two data lines is still the same, at first glance work is also very solid.
39.9 yuan of a product of excellence MFi 1 meter Apple certification data cable
The two newly acquired premium Apple data line, packaging and evaluation before we made no difference.
MFi certification testing
After the verbose appearance and packaging differences, immediately 怼 on the MFi detector for testing, the results are as follows:
imu halt Apple data line test results (the two left is the new buy, the right is the last to participate Hengping samples):
Named a superior apple data line test results (two on the left is the new buy, the right is the last to participate Hengping samples):
All four new data lines to buy the test results and before the true laboratory evaluation results, Not all Apple's official MFi program, we are all hands-on virtual MFi products.
Although the product alone can not explain the two Apple data lines is a virtual standard, but we have six data lines at least shows that consumers buy these two products, there is a probability of 'winning'.
Charge current, voltage stability test
In order to further verify the difference between them and the data lines that really pass the MFi certification, we use Power Z to measure and record the stability of the charging current and voltage of the 6 data lines. Under the same charging condition, we also compare with MUMI and ANKER two MFi Certification data line for comparison, the results are as follows:
You can see, there MFi certified Mumishi and ANKER two data lines, charge current and voltage stability are very high, Under the same conditions imu fantasy and a reputation for excellence a total of six data lines are not stable enough current, or current fluctuations, or the current and voltage have a certain degree of volatility , And the curve stable and straight Mo Shi Shi and ANKER can see the gap at a glance.
Although imu deafening, the price of two famous data cable and Mo Mishi, ANKER have a certain gap, non-MFi certified cheap data line because of the charging current instability, easy to damage the device, and Apple's warranty policy is not Coverage Because of the problems associated with using non-MFi data lines, So still suggest that you buy more stable performance of MFi certified products.
Apple MFi certification costs are infiltrated into each data line inside, So the price is too low (30 to block) MFi data line still have to be cautious choice.
