Apple products are very popular and in high demand by consumers. This success is overshadowed by the proliferation of counterfeit devices appearing on store shelves. In order to determine the authenticity of a phone, you need to pay attention to some details.
Instructions
Step 1
There are various methods to determine the authenticity of iPhone 4s. First, measure the screen of the device - a real phone has a diagonal of 3.5 inches, which is approximately 8.9 cm. If the screen is much smaller or larger, the phone is a fake. Also examine the body of the device - it should be made of tempered glass and have a steel frame. If the phone is made of plastic, then it is definitely a fake.
Step 2
Examine the SIM card slot. For example, Apple produces the iPhone 4s with only one card slot, which is on the side of the phone. The body of the device is monolithic, i.e. the user cannot remove the cover by themselves to remove or replace the battery. If in order to insert the SIM you need to remove the back cover, this device is also a fake. It should be noted that the operator's card slot for the phone is made in the Micro-SIM format, which is almost 2 times smaller than the standard one.
Step 3
Review the serial number of the machine, which is a fixed length of 11 characters. It must match the number indicated on the package of the device and in the menu of the device (item "Settings" - "General" - "About this device").
Step 4
Pay attention to the quality of the case and screen of the device. Also, some fakes are equipped with a stylus to manipulate the elements on the display. Apple does not manufacture stylus devices and the genuine 4s will not respond to a pointer made of plastic or metal.
