How to spot a fake iPhone? Here's how

It is said that fake iPhones are also involved in the sale of iPhones, and their sales are increasing.

This makes it necessary to check whether the iPhone we have is original or fake.

How to spot a fake iPhone? You can spot a fake iPhone through features such as packaging, IMEI number, product quality, and software.

You can spot fake iPhones especially with the unique markings for Apple iPhones.

Packaging:

First, you should examine the packaging and components of your iPhone. Because the boxes in which the iPhone is packed are sturdy.

They have high-quality images and precise design. Then the other components inside the box should match the quality of Apple products.

If there is poor quality printing, loose packaging, or incompatible components, it may be a fake iPhone.

Serial number and IMEI number:

Like other smartphones, the iPhone has a unique serial number and International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI).

To find the serial number, go to Settings and go to General > About. Then go to Apple's Check Coverage page and type the serial number and submit.

If your iPhone is genuine, it will show you the iPhone model, warranty status, and other related information.

To check the IMEI number, type *#06# on your iPhone and compare the number that appears on the screen with the number on the box. Then, compare it with the IMEI number on the SIM tray. If it is an original iPhone, all the numbers should match.

Product Quality:

If you bought an original iPhone, it will not have any loose parts. It will have a solid structure.

The Apple logo on the back will be accurate. Not only this, but the screen size, display quality, weight, and thickness should match the specifications of the official model.

Then remove the SIM tray and inspect the slot. Often, fake iPhones have defects such as incorrect logos or loose buttons.

If you look closely, you can easily find these flaws. You can also check using a lens to find out exactly.

Software Features:

Original iPhones run on Apple's iOS. You can check if your mobile phone is running the latest version of iOS by going to Settings > General > Software Update.

Similarly, try holding down the iPhone Power button or saying "Hey Siri" to use Siri Assistant.

If Siri is not working, your iPhone may be fake.

Apple Service Center:

If you have any doubts about your iPhone, you can contact an authorized Apple Service Center and get help.

Apple customer service experts will help you check your iPhone. With these tips, you can find out if your iPhone is original or fake.
