was it an mfi-compliant cable or a noname one?

How would I know by looking at it?

where did you get it and how much did you pay?

if it's from apple, it's obviously mfi-compliant.

if it's a third party cable, it might be compliant. some are and some
aren't. generally, cheaper cables are not compliant. really cheap
cables are almost certainly not compliant.

the cable itself might not say but the packaging will. companies like
to brag that it's compliant.

non-compliant cables don't always melt. it simply means it doesn't meet
apple's standards of quality and construction and may not work
properly, notably with syncing (charging usually works but not always).
