The appearance on the market of the iPhone 4 communicator expected by many, of course, caused a massive wave of Chinese-made counterfeits. They are not always bad and, often, they fully justify their price, but the bad thing is that many unscrupulous sellers have got into the habit of passing off fakes as Apple branded products. At first glance, distinguishing the devices is not so easy, however, it is still doable.

Instructions

Step 1

Pay attention to the presence of a microphone hole on the front of the device. The original device does not have it.

Step 2

The microSIM slot of the original device is absent on the counterfeit and is only imitated (not too skillfully).

Step 3

The material of the counterfeit body is of lower quality, neither glass nor metal is used, only plastic imitating them.

Step 4

The weight of the fake is slightly less than the original, however, you may not feel it to the touch.

Step 5

Pay attention to the presence of a TV antenna under the battery cover. The original iPhone 4 doesn't have any antenna.

Step 6

The emblem of the Chinese "apple", although similar to the real one, is still slightly different in execution.

Step 7

If it is possible to turn on the device, pay attention to the screen: the fake is not capacitive, but resistive, which entails the absence of processing several touches at the same time, and the screen itself is less clear and has a worse color rendering.
