5 Power Adapters with same Serialnumber

The bottom line? If you purchased these directly from Apple or an Apple Authorized Reseller, then they should be originals. if not, then they could be fakes.

Three typically signs, that they are fakes:

1. You got them at an extremely low price.
2. The serial numbers do not appear as valid on the Apple support site.
3. They all have the same serial number.

I would return them for a full refund. If you still need them, get them from Apple or an AAR.

If they are fakes then somebody found a valid serial number on a package and then copied it and stuck it on a bunch of boxes. It is rare that a customer will compare serial numbers on multiple boxes.

If you are concerned about this then you should really be speaking with Apple.

Select your country (also look for "other" regions), then a product. If you don't see one that handles your issue then keep experimenting with selections until you reach one that gets you a chat session or a telephone call and get the representative to redirect you.

I was wondering the same, I saw the same serial FNT0397P6EZPLX2A102 in an ebay listing item ID 404463061126 so I googled it and found this forum thread. I wish Apple have told you if the serial is supposed t appear on multiple genuine boxes because then we would know for certain if this is counterfeit.

I believe it's counterfeit and have figured out a way to tell. Rotate the image 90° counterclockwise so the text can be read and look at the model code "MHJE3ZM/A" and notice how the font is taller than the rest of the label title "20 W USB-C.." in genuine ones it appears that the title text height is consistent.

Another way is the CE and recycling icons are darker but because of lighting that is only certain in the left 2 boxes.

Here is a photo to compare. I believe the below box photo from another more expensive ebay listing to be genuine however I am not certain so have masked the serial number to prevent it being indexed by Google:

It's kind of hard for me to read because it is small and I have to read it at right angles. I guess those could be fakes. Somebody found a real serial number then just copied it multiple times.

Does it find them? If yes then at least the serial number is real, but fake copies can have real serial numbers that might well, of course, be reported as valid. If you take them to Apple they can tell the difference. The bottom line is the only real way to be sure something Apple is not fake is to only buy it from Apple or an Apple Authorized retailer. --> Find Locations

Have you input the serial number showing on the boxes at the Apple check coverage site? If you check that number and it shows as legitimate, you’ll know why that number is showing on all the boxes.

Good idea!
