iPhone is undoubtedly the most successful mobile phone in the world. In fact, it is also favorite product in history. We can't be surprised that everyone is trying to copy it. On the one hand, it's good, because today's smartphones wouldn't have been created, on the other hand, there are also companies (mainly in China) that iPhone They copy it down to the last detail and then sell it as if it were the real thing and even for the same price tag.
Sometimes it happens that when you want to buy iPhone second-hand, you can easily come across a scammer who offers a fake iPhoneSuch a copy is often not easy to distinguish from the original at first glance, because it is often a really sophisticated copy, where even the system looks like iOS, but it is always just a modified version of Android. In today's article and especially in the video from Unbox Therapy, let's show you how such a fake iPhone get to know in a moment.
I believe that the more experienced of you would recognize it immediately, but there are also those who iPhone they are just planning to buy, so they don't yet know all the details that make the right iPhone clearly identify.
How to spot a fake iPhone

After all, it is a matter worth several (tens of) thousands, so caution is in order. As soon as iPhone When you unpack it, pay attention to what it is packed in. Phones from Applu are always beautifully packaged and everything in the box fits perfectly. There is only a transparent film on the display and on the back and only under the phone itself.onem is the instruction with Apple stickers and accessories under them in the form of white headphones, a white Lightning konewhich and a white adapter for the socket. You can see what such a package looks like, for example here.
once iPhone When you take it out of the box, immediately look at the bottom edge. If there is micro-USB, this is clearly a fake iPhone. If it is on the bottom side Lightning port or in the case of iPhone 4S and older 30-pin port, you have won. If the individual koneIf you can't tell them apart, take a look at the included cable. Lightning konewhich can be plugged into the iPhone from either side, while micro-USB can only be plugged in once.
If you are still unsure after checking the port, be sure to turn on the phone. iPhone respectively iOS it will always ask you to log in to i at the beginningCloudu, language settings, country, etc. Android on a fake iPhone is probably the same, but you will be logging in to your Google account.

Added, but this is just our ordinary unboxing :-)
I know it's harder to do, but the safest way is to connect your iPhone to iTunes. If he finds it, it's ok. And it's ideal to go shopping with someone who iPhone owns and knows.
I would very much like to see similar articles here, definitely rather than "commercial messages".
Mr. Prazak: there are far, far more things to watch out for, and some of them are even easier to detect when buying a second-hand phone, which will probably be the case in most cases, so there are things that "must" be checked.
Of course, there is more, but this is really just a list of the most important things for beginners :-) Otherwise, I added a link to our older article below the article (above the video) on what to watch out for when buying a second-hand iPhone :- )

There's a link to the e-shop in the comments, it's not bad for $180. Goophone It is the only one among fake iPhones that is well made, fakes from other brands are junk, instead of dual LED they only have two-colored plastic under which there is one diode and it is quite bad in terms of construction. Goophone It maintains at least some quality, I've seen it disassembled and it's not a bad device in terms of construction, I just feel a little embarrassed to wear a fake.
For the money, VDF is much better in my opinion Ultra 7 than this...they cost about the same.
Unfortunately, even there is not everything necessary to prevent someone from robbing you. E.g. check display etc. etc
