Is this a real or counterfeit cable, my family recently bought some cable online and wanted to double double check that they’re real.

Just need help deciding if its a real lighting cable, I did search online and the cable itself appears to be fine, but in the videos I was watching the boxes are a little different, but they are a few years old, so the boxes have likely changed design a little. Thank you

It looks like the real thing.

What about with the USB side of the cable on the non usb logo side. The lines bracket (not sure that what you would call it) they go a different way than my other lighting cables including ones that came with iPhones. Now this could easily be design change, but something I feel worth mentioning just in case,

Does it have etched text on the side of the cable? It says something like "designed by Apple" or something similar.

Mine are from Apple and there's no text.

Not that I’m able to find and I even look at a couple old cables that came with iPhones just to get a idea where it would be located and it seems that on those it’s faded off where you can’t even see it.

Bought from the apple store?

The writing is really faint. Here it is on my USB-C to Headphone Jack adapter. I would imagine that it’s the same for the cables.
