How to Distinguish Between Real And Fake iPhone

IPhone is always an attractive item for both sellers and buyers, so the fake iPhone status is very popular, how to distinguish between real and fake iPhone? The following article will show you how to test the fake iPhone yourself.

Check the box

The case of the iPhone is very beautiful, the exterior is neat, the seal is original, and each box has very meticulous edges, not dented like a fake iPhone case because counterfeit goods will often be supplied in large quantities and packaged. Not thorough, the transport process is not careful because the price is very cheap.

The box of fake iPhone often has rough text and pictures, fuzzy handwriting, when looking carefully, there are quite sloppy places and boxes and manuals of genuine and delicate machines, the letters and pictures are clear.

When you open the iPhone box, the buyer can notice the box of products arranged clearly, and each accessory is stamped and carefully wrapped. In particular, Apple does not cover its products in plastic bags, but encapsulated with glue and a thin plastic layer that can be easily removed but is very sturdy.

Also, the quality of the containers is different. When checking, if you see the information on the iPhone box along with very fine print is Apple goods if the text is not prominent, irregular and sometimes translucent color is fake.

Check the IMEI number

Each phone, not just iPhone, has its IMEI number. To view the IMEI number you can go to the introduction of the machine. Then, compare the IMEI number with the IMEI number printed on the back of the device and the IMEI number printed on the box.

If all of the above 3 IMEI numbers match, go to the official website of Apple here and enter the IMEI number of the device. Also, compare the information provided by Apple about the number of IMEI you entered and the information you have held in hand.

Try connecting to iTunes

The system where the fake iPhone does not use the iOS operating system. So, just connect the iPhone to iTunes on the computer can know if it is fake. If the iPhone is genuine, the right corner of iTunes will see the iPhone text displayed.

Check activated

You need activate iphone before it can be used normally. Therefore, to check whether the iPhone is genuine or not, restore the original installation (if the iPhone is completely new, the original seal will only need to turn on the device), see if it displays the activation interface or not. If there is no need to activate, then it is fake.

Touch ID check

Touch ID only available on iPhone 5S onwards, previous versions are not available.

Observe the outside, if the white color of the Home button and the glass in front of the machine differ in color from the real one. Besides, it is possible to try using Touch ID to unlock it if it is reasonable, if it is counterfeit, it cannot be used.

Observe the sensor cluster

On the genuine iPhone screen only 2 small round holes. But, people still design many clones in the style of Android smartphone with rectangular sensors or more than 2 sensors on the front. Thanks to this, you can easily distinguish iPhone fake goods.

Check the keypress

Every 1 key is shiny, and if you look carefully, it will be meticulous, each line is clear. The press keys when clicked hear the “t” sound, that is, people design the keys quite firmly, not loose as fake products, poor quality.

Check the camera

It is easy to recognize that the real iPhone will have a camera that is on par with the camera body, and around the edge of the camera is accompanied by a metal ring, which looks great.

In contrast, people completely make the fake iphone camera by plastic, pulled in, the camera glass is not completely transparent.

Price

When asking the price, if you find the price is too low, you must be vigilant. When buying a phone, it is best to check the price carefully, so understand it a little, not to be cheap.
