Apple products are in great demand among consumers, which has led to the appearance on the market of a large number of fakes of different quality. You can determine them by carefully examining the device and considering some of its details.
Instructions
Step 1
When picking up an iPad, first of all pay attention to the size of its screen. For fakes, the screen may have a smaller or larger diagonal. All Apple devices are manufactured to a specific specification and have a fixed display size that cannot be varied.
Step 2
Pay attention to the operating system of the device. IOS is installed on iPads, which is not used on any other mobile devices except Apple. Most often, fakes are released under the control of Android, which will be immediately noticeable after unlocking the screen and going to the main menu.
Step 3
Pay attention to the packaging in which the device is delivered. The iPad is sold in an original box, wrapped in plastic. The packaging features Apple logos, and the third-generation iPad features an iCloud sticker. A high-quality image of the tablet should be drawn on the box, and the top cover of the package should be removed, not pulled out. There is a sticker on the back of the box with the serial number of the device, which will allow you to determine for which country the tablet was released.
Step 4
Carefully study the package contents of the device. Along with the device must be present an original charger, a computer cable that can be connected to the charger, and an instruction in Russian. Some counterfeit iPads have mini- or microUSB support, while the original has a special connector that is used only in Apple products.
Step 5
Examine the case of the device. A real iPad is quite heavy and made of quality metal. Counterfeits can be made of plastic coated with silver paint.
