1: The simplest way to identify whether it is a real Apple:
Press and hold the Home button (the one in the middle below), and then click the power button (upper right corner). You will hear the "click" sound of the camera shutter. This is the iPhone screenshot function. You can see the screenshot there by going to the Camera Roll in Photos. The copycat probably does not have this function (if you find that the copycat has this function, please let me know the correction).
Two: Absolutely reliable way to identify whether it is a real Apple:
Install iTune on the computer, run iTune, and connect the phone to the phone. If iTune cannot recognize it (that is, there is no display in iTune ) That’s an orange or a rotten apple. If there is no possibility of connecting to a computer, you can check the information on this website through the IMEI (mobile phone serial number). A real iPhone will clearly show the manufacturer, Apple.
Three: Identification and differences between refurbished machines, returned machines and service machines:
The most common thing between these three machines is that the serial number starts at 5k. But they are not the same.
Refurbished machine: If there is a problem, it will be returned for warranty and then sold after repair. When Apple sells it, it will be marked as refurbished (Refurbished). Refurbished machines only have a three-month warranty. Go to Apple's warranty information website and enter the serial number to check the warranty period.
Return sales machine: According to the consumer laws of the United Kingdom and the United States, any credit contract (including a 24- or 18-month contract for mobile phones) should have a cooling off period (Cooling Off Period) of approximately 14 Customers can regret it within days. If they regret it, they can return it and cancel the contract as long as the iPhone is still like brand new. Although this kind of machine is new, Apple cannot treat it as new, so Apple performs the same inspection and treatment on it as a refurbished machine (starting with changing the serial number to 5K). But when they are sold, they are still sold as new machines. This kind of machine may come with a white box and be exchanged for the machine to be repaired, but most of them are sold as new machines. However, generally you cannot see this kind of machine in the United States. Generally, is resold to other countries. Some people buy Hong Kong version (Indian) unlocked phones, but when I check the phone model, it is American, so I guess it is this kind of machine. The warranty period of this machine is also the same as the normal one year.
Service machine: Apple has specially produced a batch of service machines (white box, serial number starting with 5K) in order to cope with the warranty replacement. If you go to Apple for warranty, Apple will replace it with a new one. This is this kind of machine. If you go for warranty and exchange a machine with a serial number starting with 5K, don’t worry that it is not a refurbished machine. The warranty period of this kind of machine is the same as that of the original machine. If the original one has been used for 4 months, then it still has an 8-month warranty. .
Four: How to determine if it is an unlocked phone:
If the phone can use all SIM cards normally and there is no card sticker (I am not sure how to see the built-in SIM card sticker), there is no Use the Yellow Snow boot guide to "soft unlock" (go to Manage and then Package in Cydia, where you can see whether Yellow Snow Yellosn0w is installed), then it is a lock-free machine.
Five: Check the date of manufacture from the serial number:
The first five digits of the serial number are very important, abcdeab is the assembly factory code or the product batch number, c is the year (for example, 8 means 2008 ). de is the number of weeks of the year. Another way is to download a software from this website, which can find out the manufacturing date and factory location of all Apple products (Apple computers, iPods, etc.).
Six: Check the country version from the machine model:
Click the iPhone's "Settings-gt; General-gt; About This Machine" to check the "Model" and compare it with the table below Australia/New Zealand, Hong Kong and Italy are all unlocked or can be officially unlocked.
