Apple frequently warns its users to use licensed accessories. Despite the company’s repeated warnings regarding risks such as overheating and fire hazards, many of us don’t take this warnings seriously. Because we believe Apple primary aim is to boost sales and profit… right? owever, it seems that’s not entirely the case. A Reddit user with similar thoughts, showed how dangerous poor quality products can be. He shared a story about using a cheap cable that ended up melting, damaging his phone, and even burning his finger. Here are the details…

iPhone 15 Pro Max Meltdown Causes Damage and Burns

A Reddit user named NoisilyMarvellous recently shared the dangers of using cheap accessories with a post. He revealed how connecting his recently purchased iPhone 15 Pro Max to the charger resulted in the cable melting, causing burns both to his hand and the phone. Upon careful examination of the image, the first noticeable detail was that the charging cable used was not an original Apple product.

Reddit user “I knew the iPhone 15 Pro Max gets hot, but a month into use mine got so hot while charging overnight that it literally left a burn on my finger. When I took the charger off, it had melted some of the plastic, “left burn marks on the body and stuck the metal part of the USB-C port into the phone,” he said.

It is important to note that using accessories from brands different than Apple won’t damage your phone. For example, it’s much more sensible to use products from official partners that have passed the company’s quality control tests. However, using a product from an unknown brand just because it’s cheap can lead to serious consequences, much like what happened to NoisilyMarvellous and their $1000+ phone.
