Many items can be purchased very cheaply in the sale. But it is always important to take care of some things. Like one should be very careful while buying a phone. This is because it has happened many times that people have received fake phones. Especially with expensive phones, the chances of getting cheated are high. So if we talk about iPhone, then it is important for you to know how you can identify real and fake iPhone.
All original iPhone models have an IMEI number. So this is an easy way to identify the real fake. To find the IMEI number of the phone, go to Settings, click on General, tap on About option and scroll down to see the IMEI number. If there is no IMEI or serial number, there is a high possibility that the iPhone model is counterfeit.
Check Operating System: Everyone knows that iPhones work on iOS. You will also know that its operating system is completely different from Android. So to check the operating system of the iPhone, go to the phone’s Settings menu and then tap on the Software tab. The iOS version will be known here. Let us tell you that there are many such apps which come inbuilt in iPhones, which include Safari, Health, iMovie.
Siri facility: Every iPhone has the option of voice assistant Siri. So definitely check by saying ‘Hey Siri’ once. If it is not activating then go to Settings and check the Siri option. If it is not found there then there is a chance that your iPhone is not original.
Body Check: In most cases, a fake iPhone is detected by its body itself. The fake and cheap model is cheaper and has a slightly different design compared to the original model. Therefore, you should check the physical body of the iPhone carefully. The most important of these is the notch, frame and camera module of the iPhone from where fake models can be detected most easily.
