1. Check the box
The iPhone box is beautiful, genuine, neat on the outside, sealed, and each box has no dented edges. The user manual of the genuine device is beautiful and delicate, with clear words and pictures.
As for fake iPhone boxes, they often have rough letters and images, blurred strokes, and when you look closely you will find some sloppy spots.
When opening the iPhone box, you can see that the products inside the box are clearly arranged, and each accessory is carefully stamped and wrapped.
2. Check IMEI number
Every phone, not just the iPhone, has its own IMEI number. To see the IMEI number, you can go to the phone's introduction section, then compare the IMEI number with the IMEI number printed on the back of the phone and the IMEI number printed on the box.
3. Try connecting to iTunes
If the iPhone is fake, it will not run the iOS operating system (although the interface is somewhat similar to iOS), so just connect the iPhone to iTunes on the computer to know if it is a fake or not. If it is a real iPhone, the right corner of iTunes will show the phone's connection icon.
4. Check activation
iPhone needs to be activated to be able to use normally. Therefore, to check if the iPhone is genuine or not, restore the factory settings (if it is a completely new, sealed iPhone, just turn it on), see if the activation interface is displayed or not. If it does not need to be activated, then it is a fake.
5. Check Touch ID
Touch ID is only available on iPhone 5S and later, previous versions do not have it. Please observe the outside, if the color of the Home button and the color of the front are different, it is genuine. In addition, you can try using Touch ID to unlock to see if it works, if it is a fake, it will not be usable.
6. Observe the sensor cluster
On the genuine iPhone screen there are only 2 small circular holes, but many fakes are still designed in the style of Android phones with rectangular sensors or more than 2 sensors placed on the front. This makes it easy for you to distinguish fake iPhones. Check the buttons
7. Check the keys
The buttons on the real iPhone are meticulously designed, each line is clear. When pressed, you can hear a clear "click" sound, which means these buttons are firmly designed, not loose like fake, poor quality products.
8. Check the camera
It is easy to see that the real iPhone will have a camera that is level with the body, and around the edge of the camera is a metal ring, looking very luxurious. On the contrary, the fake iPhone camera seems to be made entirely of plastic, is sunken in, the camera glass is not transparent, and the camera quality is also very poor.
9. Price
Usually, fake iPhones will be much cheaper than genuine ones. When buying a phone, it is best to check the price carefully, do not be greedy for cheapness and buy a fake phone.
10. Check real or fake iPhone with specialized software
In addition to the above intuitive methods, you can also check real or fake iPhones with specialized software 3uTools. But if you are not proficient in this field, it is also very difficult to check the device.
Above are the fastest and most accurate ways to check whether an iPhone is genuine or fake, which you can apply to check your device. In addition, to avoid buying a fake iPhone of poor quality, you need to choose the most reputable phone distributors.
