Now more and more cases of sale of "clandestine" phones are observed. The cost of some of them is quite high, and the low cost price pushes unscrupulous citizens to sell counterfeit goods, although uncertified goods are prohibited for sale. In order not to get into a mess, you need to be able to distinguish a real iPhone from a crude Chinese counterfeit.
Necessary
The iPhone phone is original / not original
Instructions
Step 1
Examine the package contents. You can do this on the official Apple website. If this is the original, it must match exactly.
Step 2
Examine the box carefully: its design and appearance. This box is made with high quality and has several unique design features.
Step 3
Take out and examine the charger. It should not have hieroglyphs on it, and its weight should be at least 60 grams.
Step 4
Examine the headphones carefully. It is most difficult to distinguish them from a fake, because outwardly they are almost not the same. But there is one caveat: the headphones of the original iPhone have a soft wire.
Step 5
Pay attention to the appearance of the device. Usually the counterfeit is lighter and has no sounding channels, as a result of which the volume level is low.
Step 6
Open the back cover of your phone. In fact, the original is a one-piece candy bar, a non-specialist will not be able to remove the back cover or disassemble the phone in any way.
Step 7
Examine the software part of the device. Here, the differences between the fake and the original are obvious, because there is a lack of many functions, but a TV tuner is offered, which is absent in the original iPhone.
