Talking about smartphones, having an iPhone is a big deal in itself. Everyone wants an iPhone but every place from where you are buying an iPhone is not necessarily a Genuine Shop. Unless you are buying a product from an Apple Store, it is always better to thoroughly check if the phone is fake or not.
Even though iPhones come with the best looks, intelligent operating system, expensive camera set but it can be easy for some people to fake iPhone. Many times you can become a fool in carelessness, while it may also happen that money is being cheated from you in the name of high price of iPhone. So here is how you can find out if your iPhone is fake or not.
Check with IMEI number
The International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) is basically a 15-digit number that comes with every phone. Every phone has a different IMEI number. It is like the fingerprint of a phone, is updated and can be traced back to the company and it also helps in tracking the stolen phone.
Always check the IMEI number in the phone box. You can double-check with Apple by visiting the official website and entering the IMEI number on the package at https://checkcoverage.apple.com/in/en.
- The website notifies you immediately if the product is fake.
- Check the phone’s bezels. Only an iPhone comes with the right bezel at the bottom of the phone.
- A special feature that you will find only in Apple phones is the pentalobe screw around the Lightning port to secure the chassis.
- Try charging the phone, if the charger does not connect at once, then it is definitely a fake.
- A real iPhone will walk you through the initial setup steps, but if your phone asks you to check in with your Google account, it’s a fake.
- When you try to open the Apple Store, the Google Store app opens.
- If there is a fake iPhone, instead of Siri, the voice assistant will also be from Google.
