Are you talking about parallel imports or copycats
There is basically no difference between parallel imports and there is no need to explain
Copycat machines first:
1. Appear on the market There are many fake Apple phones. These knock-off Apple phones are of low quality and shoddy workmanship, and are passed off as good ones to confuse everyone’s attention
2. Look at the network standard, single SIM card
Apple mobile phones have never had dual-SIM, dual-mode, or dual-SIM dual-standby phones since ancient times. They only have a single SIM card, and the card needs to be inserted sideways, requiring the card to be cut. Many merchants online claim:
3. " Tianyi customized version, Foxconn version, dual-SIM, dual-mode, Taiwan version, Hong Kong version and European version" these are all fake high-imitation machines
4. Look at the battery
Apple phones are all The built-in battery cannot be removed. The battery of fake mobile phones can be removed. Many merchants also give away batteries. These are fake Apple iPhones.
5. Look at the screen
Capacitive screen: only notifications It can be operated by the thermal touch of human skin, and cannot be operated with objects such as nails or stylus
Resistive screen: It can be operated by nails, stylus, and other hard objects, and it needs to be pressed lightly during operation
6. Look at the body of the Apple iPhone
7. Look at the card slot of the Apple iPhone
The original Apple iPhone card is on the right side of the phone, high imitation The machine needs to remove the back cover to insert the card, and there are two card slots.
8. Find the "Settings" - "General" - "About" on your phone, which will contain the model, version, serial number, etc. of your iPhone. Fake iPhones don’t have the “About This Mac” column
9. Look at the card slot. The iPhone uses a small card and has a small card slot. You must cut the card first before it can be used.
10. Any time you press and hold the return key and the lock screen key together, the screen will appear blank for a moment. This is the screenshot function. Then you can see the screenshot in the photo album
11. The native capacity of the iPhone is as high as several GB, and no copycat would spend so much money. Therefore, checking the capacity of the machine when purchasing is also a method.
12. Turn on the computer and take a look. Apple's Snow Leopard operating system is known as the most gorgeous in the world, and even the mobile version is no exception. The switching effect between interfaces is beautiful and delicate. Moreover, some of the icons on the first desktop may not all be present in the fakes, such as Google Maps and the App Store. If these two items can be used normally (especially the App Store, which is used to purchase Apple-specific programs), most of them should be Authentic. But don’t just be confused by the icon, you should run it and try it to avoid JS stealing the key.
13. There will be an authorization letter in the real iPhone.
14. Check video performance. The iPhone uses a camera and a very high-speed chip. If you move the phone quickly during the shooting process, the afterimage phenomenon is very light, but this is not the case with copycats. You can also play a video with a higher code rate. The iPhone will never have code lag or frame skipping.
15. Whole sentence recognition. This is a very convenient and accurate method. The iPhone has Apple’s exclusive patented technology, full-sentence handwriting recognition. So just write a sentence and try it when purchasing.
16. Enter *#06# in the mobile phone dialing state, and the mobile phone serial number will be displayed on the screen. This number is unique, and each mobile phone corresponds to one. This number is the same as the network access license number, and the packaging number. You can check it when you buy it, and check it online at the same time
17 , connect your iPhone to the computer. It prompts that new hardware has been found. After the driver installation is completed, when I open my computer, there will not be a "removable disk" like a USB flash drive like an ordinary mobile phone, but a camera icon, which is used to view photos taken on the mobile phone. . At the same time, iTunes prompts to find iPhone, which is currently a very reliable method. If it is said that it is a fake after being plugged in but iTunes still prompts that an iPhone has been found, it can only mean that this fake has Snow Leopard installed and is most likely leaked from the manufacturer commissioned by Apple.
(Don’t take it lightly, there are already such fakes on the market.) Theoretically, the software of this fake product should be similar to the real thing, but it is not recommended to buy it. The only way to distinguish this kind of imitation product is The phone has a serial number. In short, as long as you pay attention, the possibility of buying fake products is very small. Try to buy from some big stores, such as China Unicom Customer Service Center, Suning, Gome, Excellence, JD.com, etc. Finally, I wish you all can enjoy your mobile phone life to the fullest.
18. There will be a model number on the back of the phone
19. If you have an Apple 5s, you must have seen its appearance. Since the appearance of the Apple 5s is not much different from the previous generation Apple 5, users who are not familiar with Apple mobile phones may be easily fooled by bad people. Many people know that the Apple 5s has a unique and unique feature, which is fingerprint recognition. How can fingerprint recognition be seen from its appearance? It can be distinguished by the machine's Home button. As you can see in the picture below, the Home button of the Apple 5s has a metal ring on the outside and the button is flat, while the button of the iPhone 5 has no metal ring and is concave.
