Depends what you buy from Amazon.
'AmazonBasics' iPhone cables are sold and 'made' by Amazon and are certified.
Third party cables are just delivered via them.
Mr_Sworld-
Oh right, i didn't know amazon basics did lightening cables. There was something about cables sold as being Apple that were fakes as well - via marketplace like you say. I buy Anker cables, but wouldn't buy a random brand or something sold by a random 3rd party via marketplace, for exactly the 'kill people' scenario

There was a study done a while back on iPhone cables bought from amazon professing to be certified but turned out to be nothing of the sort. Amazon (like Facebook) claim to be the platform rather than the supplier in a lot of instances, like when it’s ‘fulfilled by amazon’ or sold through amazon marketplace. I don’t trust them
