Many buyers, seeking to save money, buy Apple smartphones not from official sellers, but from individuals. In this case, there is a risk of buying a counterfeit device.
Instructions
Step 1
Take a close look at the smartphone offered to you. In original iPhones, you cannot remove the back cover to insert a sim card. In the iphone, the sim card is inserted from the side. A number of Chinese counterfeit iPhones have a removable cover, and a sim card is inserted into them next to the battery.
Step 2
Make sure there are no extra ports or holes on the phone case. If you are told that you can insert a USB flash drive, two sim cards and so on into the iphone 4s, do not believe it. Original iPhones of any configuration are not designed to work with two SIM cards or flash drives.
Step 3
Check out the software for the device you are suggesting. Chinese fakes are sometimes quite difficult to distinguish from the original externally, but they are always betrayed by the internal content. The interface of the fake smartphone is unusual and inconvenient to use, there are errors in the inscriptions in Russian or English. The fake iphone 4s lacks the iOS operating system. If the operating program of the fake iPhone is similar in appearance to iOS, it won't have iTunes. If you find an iTunes icon, check if the program works.
Step 4
Pay attention to the smartphone screen. The picture quality of the iphone 4s is very high. If you see individual pixels in the image, you are most likely fake. The apple screen reacts only to the touch of your fingers and is highly sensitive.
Step 5
Take some photos. As a rule, fakes are equipped with a cheap camera that takes low-quality pictures.
Step 6
Examine the box. The IMEI serial numbers on the box and the iphone 4s settings must match. Be sure to check the contents of the box. In addition to the smartphone, it must include headphones, a user manual, a charger consisting of a USB cable and a socket attachment, and a pin to insert a sim card.
