Even if the iPhone XI is already on the market, and there will be another XII and beyond, some people still, no, no, they become victims of scammers selling fake iPhones. How to tell a real iPhone from a fake one?
Price
The first thing to remember is cost. A high-quality, original iPhone won't be cheap. Therefore, in the event that apple products are sold at incredible promotions or they have a discount of 50 percent or more, it is worth bypassing such places.
In order not to become a victim of fraudsters, you can turn to official and large digital technology stores for help, where fakes are not sold. You can focus on the price tags that are there. Well, or you can look at the official Apple website.
Software
If, instead of iOS, an Android system of any version is installed on the phone, this also indicates a fake. And it can be Android with a theme a la iOS. One of the simplest ways available to everyone to make sure that a copy is in their hands is to go to the AppStore. In the event that, instead of the standard store, the user enters the Play Market, this suggests that it is better to put the phone back.
Exactly the same rule applies to many other applications, whose labels and names seem to be related to the mobile operating system iOS, but whose "filling" directly indicates that the user is holding a phone with some next Android OS.
Serial number
This is more complicated, but the most plausible method for distinguishing the original from a fake. You need to check the serial number. To do this, just take your smartphone with you and save the link https://checkcoverage.apple.com/ru/ru/ and go to the store.
The next step is to go to the store, grab your favorite Apple phone and go to its basic settings. There you need to go to the information about the phone and to the Serial number. Just the serial number should be looked for in the general database of serial numbers located on the website by the link. And to do this, you just need to enter the serial number in a special line on the site and that's it: if there is a number, everything is fine, if not, it's better to move on.
Appearance
It is important to pay special attention to the font of those inscriptions that are located directly on the body of the phone. It is important to ensure that there are no calligraphic or spelling errors in the lettering.
The back of the phone should, depending on the model, be labeled "iPhone", the certification mark, the model number, and the country of origin.
It is also worth remembering that the case of representatives of Apple phones is non-removable, that is, you can still remove it, but for this you have to work a little with a screwdriver. Also, a phone from Apple should not have styluses, antennas, bulging or non-standard buttons, etc. Only a pleasant and correct ergonomic shape that allows the phone to fit comfortably in the hand without bulging.
