1 Flash
Starting from iPhone6, Apple has equipped the iPhone with a dual-color temperature flash, which has a remarkable feature in appearance: there are two light bulbs inside the flash, and the flash of the iPhone is round, and the inside is divided into two semicircles, one of which is pink and the other is yellow. Most fake iphones don't notice this small detail, only a yellowish light bulb is placed in the lampshade. If the flash has only one light bulb, it means it is a fake iPhone.
2 Installation application
Because iOS can't hit the fake iPhone, the fake iPhone system is generally Android, and the Android system can completely put on a layer of iPhone skin, which is definitely not easy to judge in appearance. So you can try to install the application. The installation mechanism of iOS is to install directly after downloading, and there will be no other interface, while Android will have a permission confirmation interface before installing the program, which will expose all fake iPhone using Android.
Of course, this interface may be removed, so we can also try to download some Android-specific applications, such as Master Lu, KingRoot, File Manager, desktop beautification applications, etc. As long as these applications can be downloaded in the browser, we can conclude that this iPhone is a fake iPhone without iOS installed. All iOS applications, including those opened in the browser, need to jump to the App Store and then download. It is an Android patent to start downloading directly.
3 Touch ID
for the sake of cost, many fake iphones don't really have the function of fingerprint identification, so we can go to Settings-Security -Touch ID and try to register a fingerprint. Of course, if the counterfeiter installs a conductive iron ring for Home, it can display the prompt of successful registration after putting a finger on it, so it doesn't matter. After locking the screen, we can try to unlock the phone with an unregistered finger. If it can be unlocked,
4 screws at the bottom
There are two exposed screws outside the body of the p>iPhone, which are located on both sides of the charging interface. In order to prevent unauthorized personnel from disassembling (it seems), Apple is equipped with two pentagonal Torx screws at this position. This screw is printed in a "*" shape with five grooves, instead of our common cross-shaped screw with two grooves or a slotted screw.
Some counterfeit iPhones will not pay attention.
5 recovery gesture
recovery is a low-level programming mode of Android system, which is used for the system upgrade of Android system and has the authority to control all data in the mobile phone, but the iOS system is not equipped with this mode, so whether you can enter recovery is also one of the ways to distinguish between iOS and Android.
The specific operation is: turn off the mobile phone, Then directly press the power button and the volume at the same time-until the screen is lit. This gesture is the recovery startup gesture of the native Android. If it is a fake iPhone of Android system, the phone will enter another interface, and iOS will start as usual.
However, only some fake iPhones can be distinguished by this method, and many fake iPhones can avoid this method, which is only for backup.
6 Link to iTunes
Finally, if you are really uneasy, you can connect your iPhone to the iTunes application on your personal PC. If you are a fake iPhone, you cannot connect to iTunes.
Finally, I suggest you buy an iPhone from Apple official website or Apple authorized retail outlets, which is the best way to avoid counterfeit goods.
