Someone charged my phone with an unoriginal charger head

[Ahmedmohsen91]

I always charge with the original 20W charger from Apple, but my brother tried the high Copy charger on the device and he said the charger not work it damaged ( charger high copy ).. So I entered the battery and found that the last charge was a day ago ( the charger was burnt ) ... Did this affect the battery in anything Or the hardware of the device, or does charging with non original ( high copy ) charger once or twice harm the hardware or the device .. Because then it happened that the device suddenly cut off the 5g net and GPS, but the device restarted, and then it became working normally, and the device has never had this happen to it before. It's on ios 15.1

Your phone has likely been destroyed. You need to go to your nearest Apple store immediately and buy a new iPhone! 👀

No.

Update to current iOS 16.6, you are two years behind.

Apple does some serious fear mongering, trying to convince consumers that your phone could catch fire, be damaged, cause global warming, end humanity as we know it, if we use a third party adapter or one they have not blessed

I personally, would be careful of third party chargers unless they are from known good quality manufacturers.

There are tear downs that show the difference in quality amongst the chargers.

Nobody here will know for certain. You need to test the bad power adapter with an inline analyzer to learn more. Voltage ripple can damage the battery and charging circuit over the long run.

This is an interesting read about this topic if OP is interested: https://www.righto.com/2012/10/a-dozen-usb-chargers-in-lab-apple-is.html

tl;dr: do not use counterfeits.
