Modern phones are becoming more functional and more complex every year. But this does not frighten the Chinese craftsmen at all, because it is a well-known fact that in China almost every device can be counterfeited. Popular iPhones are no exception. The number of cheap phones with this design is incalculable. Sometimes sellers can pass off a fake as branded products, so it is important to know the main features by which you can distinguish a fake from the original.
Instructions
Step 1
First, pay attention to the location of the microphone. The counterfeit has it on the front panel, while the original Iphone does not.
Step 2
The fake iPhone 4 does not have a microSIM slot, it is only imitated, and not very skillfully.
Step 3
The material from which the case is made is of lower quality. The copy does not use glass or metal, only inexpensive plastic.
Step 4
The weight of the counterfeit is slightly less than the original, but you may not feel it.
Step 5
On a fake, you can open the back cover, and the original is a one-piece candy bar that you cannot make out. It is also worth checking for a TV antenna under the battery cover. There is no antenna in branded iPhone products.
Step 6
Look closely at the Chinese apple emblem. It may differ significantly from the real one.
Step 7
If you can turn on the phone, then check the screen: the original device has capacitive, not resistive. This means that the phone can handle several touches at once. The fake screen has the worst color rendering.
Step 8
Examine the charger. It is manufactured in the FLEXTRONIX or FOXLINK factories, which should be indicated. In addition, the charger should not contain any hieroglyphs.
Step 9
The USB cable should not have special latches. Otherwise, it is either a fake or an Apple iPod cable.
