2016-08-13
so I received this box it looks like an iPhone you take a glance around here iPhone 6s the back looks the same I mean it looks like an iPhone but it ain't an iPhone this my friend is a high-quality high-caliber Chinese iPhone knockoff let's go ahead and find out what the differences are maybe there are none maybe they'll fool me completely maybe we should all be using enough I highly doubt it so the first thing being a guy who has unboxed a number of iPhones the first thing that that'll tip you off that you've got a fake is this little bag here this tray they have something similar to that let's look at it the device actually wow that's a pretty good fake here's a real one and here's a fake one whoa okay another thing I noticed is where the front-facing camera is it's a little bit more pronounced on the knockoff and also oh the writing here it's a few more FCC do not dispose type logos there but otherwise man okay you can that's another spot so on the real iPhone you've got this type of cut out on this one there's a line almost drawn into the aluminum also is it a little bit lighter that area there is pretty much identical and this area here is pretty much that is that's amazing there's a ridge here you can kind of feel it with your finger that doesn't exist it's much more smooth on the real deal I don't know man to to the untrained individual that baby might pass Wow Chinese writing there bit of a giveaway ah lightning cable to a European plug and then some ear pods oh my Oh a little bit slower it displays a bit of a giveaway as well much more dim but look at this now this thing is obviously running some kind of Android right but it's skinned with this iOS look-alike there's the Settings menu the font is a little bit off when I use the ringer on this one that's what it looks like on this one slightly different something tells me the camera image quality is not gonna be as good okay there's one off fake iPhone real iPhone yeah that's another giveaway image quality on the camera I mean what happens if you go to the iTunes Store here the iTunes Store takes you to Spotify okay that's a bit of another giveaway but let's be honest man if someone's trying to swindle somebody on Craigslist or something and they don't go in and check everything we're all face times that bring me to Skype or something oh just the dialer there's a little vibration as well that's prominent on the fake unit okay let's do a little video slash speaker test here interesting a bag of chips here in there on the rare occasion when you're not eating kale okay knocked off sounds like a knockoff specifically snacks to come in bags you might not finish the whole bag all through my tempted true regular iPhone selfie time versus oh definitely not of the same caliber here my rules real versus fake the screen should be bright and vibrant this one's a little bit washed out check the camera the quality should be obvious check the app store the fake one will take you to Google Play and of course the iTunes Store which takes you to Spotify don't be fooled by that either but otherwise they might have you fooled don't send your grandma to buy an iPhone off of Craigslist she might come back with a fake one
