Breaking News: Apple USB-C to Lightning Cable Hacked!-Chargerlab

As we all know, if you want USB PD fast charging for your Apple devices, you either buy the 19USD USB-C to Lightning Cable from Apple, or choose Apple MFi certified USB-C to Lightning cables. However today, ChargerLAB got our hands on with a special non-MFi USB-C to Lightning cable that breaks this rule!

Using our ChargerLAB POWER-Z MF001 tester, it obviously fails our MFi test with a score of 88. However, it enables fast charging for iPhone XS Max, iPhone XR and iPad Air3 at 9.19V/1.93A/17.79W, 9.2V/1.97A/18.16W and 15.12V/1.86A/28.26W, respectively. Impressive!
