Hel123 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 I should have known better but I purchased an iPhone charger from the night market on Threpasit - Got home and put phone on charge - 15 minutes later I could smell burning, the charger was melting !! From now on only Apple original chargers for me........ H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquorice Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 I guess your new iPhone charger has brought you and your wall much closer together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

impulse Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 (edited) The world isn't black and white, and neither are your choices when it comes to charging your IPhone. There are many selections and price points between the 50 baht "night market specials" and the genuine Apple's that cost an arm and a leg- with some very reputable brands in the mix.

So why should an Apple charger cost an arm and a leg, while a Samsung charger which does exactly the same thing costs peanuts. You should replace the " reputable brands" in your post with " rip off brands" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should replace the " reputable brands" in your post with " rip off brands" That's one opinion. But I'd gladly use an AmazonBasics or Belkin brand charger, or any one of a dozen other brands, many with nifty features that Apple doesn't even bother to add to their OEM chargers- because that's not where their money is made. Apple even certifies 3rd party Lightning cables ( for a fee, of course). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigt3365 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 When I first came here, I bought a cheap charger at the night market. Left a nice black mark on the wall when it blew up. Never again.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was actually that Apple chargers are as overpriced as their phones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my instance, that was for sure the case. 5555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
