Not the case as far as I know, but RF interference can mess with touchscreens and other cables or WiFi, and of course it can catch fire and kill you.

- theshrike79 3y agoI used to be That Guy who bought cheap chargers because they were cheap. Then I noticed that my Ginuwine Aapel Charger made in Caulifloweria made my phone's touch screen literally buzz when I touched it. Never used a cheap charger since. Why break a 500€ plus device by saving 20€ on a charger?

- theshrike79 3y agoAlso: people love to save money in the wrong places. Like a relative of mine who ruined an expensive (500€+) brand name suit jacket by hanging it on a 50 cent wire hanger and now the shoulders have permanent very visible indents. Spending 5€ on a proper hanger would've been enough.

- astrange 3y agoI should say you're right about power surges and things like that. I meant to say I don't think it causes slow continual degradation as happens to batteries.
