If the adapter came from Apple itself, look at the plug end of the adapter, as it typically has an Apple Logo printed on it. Older USB A adapters, may typically have in small print "Designed by Apple in California" printed on them.

You will never know unless you purchased the adapter directly from an authorized Apple dealer.


If you did, the adapter is genuine. If you did not buy from an Apple Store or an authorized Apple dealer, you should assume that your adapter is not genuine, even it appears with an "Apple" name on the device.
