In the previous article How many copycat versions of the lightning line compare with the original We have compared the appearance of the fake lightning with that of the original one. Although the fake lightning line is poor in workmanship and ugly, it can at least be used. However, organic friends are curious about whether the speed of the copycat lightning line is different from that of the original one. Now let's have a look.
Although the quality and workmanship of the copycat are different from those of the original factory, the workmanship has little impact on the transmission speed, but some people still worry about the impact of the verification chip in the copycat lightning on the speed. For this reason, we also disassembled the copycat lightning. In addition, during our disassembly, we also confirmed that the verification chip of fake Lightning is very different from the original one.
▼ There is a chip inside the white copycat data line that says 3401
▼ A1SHR is written on the green shanzhai data line chip
▼ The original data cable is still wrapped with a layer of metal after the shell is removed, which is quite solid, and will not damage the inside even if it is heavily stepped on.
The internal diagram of the original data line from Chipworks is completely different from that of the copycat.
Speed comparison between copycat and original lightning
In order to verify whether the original data line is faster, we used iTools to test, copy a 4.38GB video file into the iPad, and use a camera to capture the whole process, so as to judge the speed of the copycat and original data lines. In order to facilitate the comparison, we processed the entire video and compared the progress bars of the two copycat lines and the original line when copying the video. The left side of the video is the stopwatch of the iPhone, and the right side is the progress of copying the video with three different data lines.
From the video, we can see that the copy speed of the fake data cable is not different from that of the original data cable. The copy speed of the original data line is 3:08 seconds, while the time of the two shanzhai data lines is 3:09 seconds. The speed difference between the shanzhai data line and the original data line is only 1 second, and this 1 second may be just an error, which can be ignored basically. Therefore, if you don't care about the poor workmanship and ugly appearance of fake data lines, it is also a good choice to buy fake data lines. In terms of performance, there is no difference between them.
