Is this now genuine as it says it's sold by Apple?

The answer to your question is yes. The box is the Apple box and the contents (charger/cable) are from Apple.

Unlike some responders, I got exactly what I ordered - a genuine Apple 0.5 M cable - which worked as expected. If this were a third-party seller I could believe the switch others claim, but Amazon??

In this particular case the battery is a 3rd party copy, it's not as capable as the original Apple product. That being said, a genuine Apple battery can be bought directly from Apple's original equipment manufacturer (OEM) in bulk quantities. I suspect iFixit and other reputable repair sites sell the real deal, or at least a copy of comparable quality.

It's actually Apple.. I love these personally. Sold by a third party, obviously as the listing states, but is an Apple product.

It appears to be the same. This isn't shipped directly from Amazon, though, so it's up to the third party seller to decide on their shipping costs. Don't forget to add sales tax. Apple seems to be the better deal right now.

The one I bought it was exactly the apple one and it does have the trade mark of apple. If the ad does not say apple then it is not. The one I bought was sold by amazon from apple.

Nothing about the packaging or anything on the screen itself mentioned it but there is absolutely no difference between a genuine apple screen and the one I received. I was actually shocked because the screen this one replaced was a knock off and it looked bad. Had a yellow hue too it. This one is a match. Super happy with it.

The one I ordered on here is legitimate. My fiancé loved it, read the review prior to purchase, that may help. �

No. My understanding it was new non owned. I had problems within 60 days had to go to Apple Store and found out a Bobbie owned It before had same problem I was having. Was not happy. Was going to be 199.00 to replace it. I would not buy from this seller again. FRAUD....

Hello Susana, Thanks for your interest! We are only reselling this used item, so we are not 100% sure about the answer to this question. However, Apple should know, so we recommend you contact them directly about this. Have a great day!

Because this item is sold from a variety of sellers, check the "Sold by" line, and contact the seller and ask if the item is new, and in a sealed package. when you register the item with apple your warranty SHOULD be valid but be sure to purchase from a reputable source.

Mine was sealed and exactly the same as if I picked it up at the Apple Store. Amazon is an Apple authorized reseller.

Mine was new - can't remember if it came with a warranty. That said, it's a apple original part, not an oem part, and it's been working perfectly for me in the few months since I got it.

It's supposed to be genuine. I'd order from amazon directly to avoid getting scammed.

Hello Eric, I would like to know your reason on the emphasis of fake and where you believe the misrepresentation is. They clearly state it is not Apple brand but their own and Apple connectors. I went ahead and provided the appropriate link from Apple but try Google'ing "mfi logo guidelines" and check the Apple website and additionally if you'd like news articles from the 2012 recreation of those due to Kickstarter products. "MFi Logos Promote your electronic accessory with MFi logos. Made for iPod, Made for iPhone, Made for iPad, and AirPlay logos communicate to customers that an electronic accessory has been designed to connect specifically to iPod, iPhone, or iPad, and has been certified by the developer to meet Apple performance standards." - Source is directly from Apple's website at https://developer.apple.com/programs/mfi/ Their (iSmooth) use of the logo simply means that they as the developer have tested their product to meet the Apple performance requirements. Additionally the logo does not mean or imply Apple branded but simple means it is compatible with Apple products according to the guidelines for the give accessory. Owning now two of these cables I can say they work well. They are not truly time tested but at the moment are great for the price, especially if using Amazon rewards in which they price is "FREE". Thanks, Sam

I'm not sure if this is an original, it doesn't come in an apple box if that's what you want to know, it comes in a plain white box, with no marks or brands, when I opened I checked carefully and there was no difference with the original, even the tiny QC stickers I've found in the original I was taking off were in the replacement.I installed mine (myself) in about 20 minutes, I couldn't spot any differences, I've had my iphone for a couple of years before the screen broke, and since I was so use to it it would have been easy for me to see differences but so far is exactly the same in display and touchscreen capabilities and also in durability.

Good question; I'm not sure. The look is consistent with Apple - and it works perfectly, but there is nothing on it or the sleave it came in to identify it as Apple. There is a sticker labeling it as US produced and another with its, I assume, bin coding, but no manufacturer.
