Opening our eyes wider

No matter how high-quality the iPhone replica is, the creators of the clones are technically unable to do everything exactly like Apple’s. Therefore, even with a quick glance, without resorting to checking the serial number of the device, you can identify a fake.

You need to pay attention to the following details:

There should not be any hieroglyphs, misspelled words or other calligraphic errors in the system.
On the back cover of the device there should be the following inscriptions: iPhone, Designed by Apple in California, Assembled in China, model number, certification marks (as in the picture).
An iPhone cannot have an antenna.
The iPhone also cannot have two SIM cards, a built-in memory card and charging from USB and mini-USB.
Back cover iPhone any The model cannot be removed until the fastening screws are unscrewed.

Another quick way to identify a fake

Very simple and easy method– taking the iPhone in your hands, go to standard application App Store. Anyone, even the coolest Chinese iPhone will be forced to transfer you to Google Play, an application store for Android devices.

In addition, you will not be able to find most branded products on Google Play. Apps le. Try searching for applications such as Keynote, iMovie, Pages, Numbers, Apple Store– if they are not in the store, then this means that this is a fake, not an original iPhone.

Another sure way to identify a Chinese iPhone

To do this you will need a laptop or Personal Computer(if the seller came to sell the iPhone directly to your home) with installed iTunes. You can download iTunes from the official Apple website.

Refurbished iPhone

Another problem that buyers may encounter is purchasing a previously refurbished iPhone under the guise of a new one. A phone that previously had certain defects in use could be restored, which is called refurbished.

The serial code or IMEI on the device itself and on the box will not match. In addition, you can see small seals on the screws that secure the back cover, which are not on the original. This is a clear sign that the iPhone was previously redesigned.

The protective metal mesh that covers the speaker is more wide holes than in the original gadget, and when you check the activation date of the iPhone on the official Apple website, which was described above, the Refurbished iPhone will be activated much earlier than it ended up with you.

How to check the authenticity of iPhone 7?

External defects

But if for some reason it is not possible to check the serial number, carefully inspect the gadget, some external changes will immediately reveal a fake, which are not provided for in the original models:

installing a memory card;
additional styluses;
or external additions.

No matter how they assure you that all these functions are designed for greater convenience, this is a fake.

In the originals:

one SIM card located on the side;
The back panel is not removable, so there is no access to the battery.

Seller contacts. Close ads immediately selling iPhone in which the seller did not indicate contact number phone is the “calling card” of scammers.
Price. If the price of a used iPhone is 20% or more lower than the market average (look at 3-5 advertisements for the sale of a similar model), you risk buying Chinese copy on Android or iPhone locked to Apple ID. For example, now in mid-July 2015, a one-year-old iPhone 5s good condition on Avito.ru it costs approximately 15-17 thousand rubles. Agree, the original device cannot cost 7 or even 10 thousand. Put yourself in the shoes of the seller - would you give away an expensive device for next to nothing?
Payment "after the fact". Don't even consider upfront sales offers. The risks described in the first two paragraphs are doubled.
A personal meeting. If the seller has agreed to a personal meeting, organize it in a public place (necessarily crowded so as not to break your head) with access to the Internet via Wi-Fi.

Checking iPhone lock using Apple ID

The originality, external condition and performance of a used iPhone are important, but even an original, fully functional and externally perfect device can be absolutely useless if it is blocked by activation lock ( Activation Lock). An iPhone with Find My iPhone enabled cannot be reset to factory settings and restored in normal mode in iTunes (only in DFU mode), but, most importantly, it is impossible to activate after flashing. When purchasing a used iPhone, be sure (!) to check the activation lock status and, if it is enabled, ask the seller to disable the Find My iPhone feature. If he cannot do this, citing the fact that he does not remember the password for the Apple ID, refuse the purchase - the iPhone is stolen. Only the account owner can disable Find My iPhone and Activation Lock. Apple records, which is connected in the device settings in the “iCloud” menu.

Apple technology Lately is increasingly used by deceivers as a powerful trademark for making money. The thing is that almost every second person has dreamed or dreams of getting a beautiful and multifunctional iPhone for themselves in order to show off with it in front of friends and create beautiful photos in selfie style. But such gadgets in Russia are too expensive due to high rate ruble, in connection with which desperate “dreamers” are trying to buy used options on the Internet, for example, in the same Avito.

Due to the fact that even those users who have already used an iPhone are often deceived, there is no point in talking about newcomers at all. This article was written specifically so that anyone who wants to buy an iPhone can thoroughly check it and personally see that it is original. This procedure can be compared to buying a car, but since some iPhone models are sometimes more expensive than the Russian auto industry, you need to be very careful. We have described all the ways to check an iPhone for originality.

The first thing you need to start checking is an external inspection of the iPhone. If the user has never previously owned Apple technology, we recommend that before purchasing you look at several reviews of the model you decide to buy. This will help you understand how closely the device being sold matches the original in appearance.

Apple takes the security and protection of its smartphones seriously trademark, therefore, it tries in every possible way to label the products it produces.

The first step is to inspect the device visually. On the back there should be a logo with an apple core, and under it at the bottom of the smartphone there will be inscriptions like this:

Designed to be Apple in California;
Assembled in China.

Yes, many craftsmen have been counterfeiting such markings for a long time, but sometimes you come across very lazy scammers who rely only on the buyer’s inattention.

It is also necessary to inspect the device body. All Apple products are famous for their quality, so in most cases on the iPhone all edges will be smooth, without any gaps or unevenness, roughness.

Another important advice- This is to look on the Internet in what colors this or that model was produced. If the seller shows a device of a completely different color, it is 100% fake. No separate parties with others Apple flowers does not release, does not change panels to other colors for specific users.

Particular attention should be paid to inspecting the camera, the side dividers, the latch for silent mode. All these details have their own clear colors, boundaries, shapes, so in many cases they may differ from the original.

Also, all devices up to the iPhone X have only 1 slot for inserting a SIM card and are opened with a special needle, which is provided with the gadget.

Reconciliation of iPhone data and packaging

When purchasing iPhones, you must ask the seller and original packaging, in which it originally lay. If the seller was the first to purchase this iPhone, in most cases the box is saved.

The information on the packaging must be compared with the information on the phone itself. To do this, just turn the box over and find information such as:

Part No—batch number;
Serial No - serial number;
IMEI/MEID - unique phone identifier.

It is very difficult for a user who has never held a serial iPhone 6 from Apple to establish the authenticity of such a design. Moreover, even a person who is familiar with iPhone device It will be difficult to find out the authenticity of the device. In this regard, a thorough check when purchasing, in particular by number, becomes by no means superfluous. In appearance, a counterfeit iPhone looks very believable. However, the differences are revealed in the details (in particular, the number). Most normal method To find all the differences between the copy and the original device, you need to take a genuine serial iPhone and a fake one and carefully examine it. It is important to pay attention to the number.
Several main parts that correspond to a counterfeit serial device in appearance are as follows:

check Apple's iPhone 6 to see if it has a slot for a memory card, a retractable antenna, or a stylus. Such “super add-ons” from counterfeit companies have never been applied to a real production device;
checking the SIM card slot on Apple's iPhone 6 should show that it is located on the side. Genuine iPhone 6s only have one SIM card;
check the cover at the back. On a genuine iPhone, it cannot be removed - as a result, there is no access to the battery. U serial iPhone it's not done.
check the serial number of the smartphone, which consists of an 11-12-digit number. Usually, the number is located on the smartphone body (SIM card). The number is also located at the bottom of the package. You can also see this number in the smartphone menu (“Settings” - “General” - “About device”). After this, you need to make sure three times that one number corresponds to another number. Checks by number are very reliable.

As for the main details of the internal differences, they are as follows:
A real iPhone from Apple operates under its own operating system, iOS.

A copy of the iPhone uses completely different firmware. In this regard, it is not possible to install applications on the App Store online store website on a fake design.

In order to be carried out correct check, you need to open “Settings” - “General” on your Apple device. Now you should pay attention to Russian-language menu. Since this language is one of the most difficult, a menu that is correctly translated is an indicator of quality. If it is noticed that something is not correct, is written with abbreviations, or there are unclear terms, then this is clearly not serial iphone 6.

You can also establish authenticity by clicking on the App Store symbol and considering what the online store’s offer will be. All applications on a serial iPhone can be installed exclusively on the website of this online store. It should be noted that when you click on the App Store icon and the user is simply taken somewhere else, the check indicates that the production iPhone is not genuine.
There is another opportunity to establish authenticity. If the verification allows, then you can connect the iPhone to the laptop. When connecting a genuine Apple devices to the laptop, the i Tunes program will automatically be able to recognize it. A smartphone that is counterfeit will not sync with i Tunes.
