Don’t Get Scammed! FAKE Airpod Max's: How To Spot.

[@MrAlohaGabe]

Thank you for this video. I just got scammed by this young kid on Monday. Unfortunately where you succeeded, I failed. I now know to be smarter thanks to your tips,

[@AlexCartledge]

Wow man this video saved my ass from buying reps. It’s uncanny how accurate these reps look and feel keep making great content

[@Sheneedstocalmtfdown]

Nope,he didn’t make a great content. How much does the real one cost? How much to “reps” cost? A LOT of different. Don’t expect it to be real.

You can tell if a sealed product is fake by checking the seal strip. Apple included a feature that’s makes to the eye, but visible under UV light.

[@learntostrafe]

Think that is only for the new iPhone boxes right now.

[@gibreezy]

There’s a guy selling some on FB, for $250 still sealed just like you described lol

[@TheEddykid]

There’s so many on fb selling for 250, they’re definitely fake right?

[@gibreezy]

@@TheEddykid yeah they’re all fakes. I even entertained one just for fun, the kid even let me open the plastic wrap, and everything this video described stood out, the clicking noise on the crown, the overall cheap feel of the cups not feeling like real metal, some things were really good fakes like the headband and it even had the torx screws he mentioned, but the dead giveaway was the quality of the crown and how flimsy it felt when you spin it and click it

[@TheEddykid]

@@gibreezy that’s actually crazy man!! I was also entertaining someone and asked if I can open it but they told me no 😂

[@Kend_1]

@@TheEddykidI got mine for 240 like 4-5 months ago and they are real :)

[@OMYRASPBERY]

Those holes inside the ear cups are to help disassemble the device, you can remove the entire ear cup but inserting a pin into those holes

[@TwelveBravo]

Nice. Thanks for the tip!

[@andrewarredondo3814]

What if you have fakes but they have Apple care + on them?

[@robertovasquez8754]

Apple will detect if they’re real or not if u send them in if they break so yeah

[@alimomen]

"they" don't have AppleCare but the serial number of the real ones they copied from.

thanks for helping me confirm that my wife's $350 great deal airpod Max from Poshmark of all places is definitely a fake. it fits almost every item that you mentioned for fates, especially the Philips screwdriver head

[@TwelveBravo]

oh man so sorry

[@jonathanvelthove6976]

somebody bought a pair and "returned" the item, swapping it with a fake pair. If its a good fake, poshmark wont realize it is a fake and restock the returned item (and sell it later to an unfortunate buyer like you)

[@TwelveBravo]

@@jonathanvelthove6976 Damn. Scammers keep coming up with new ways to scam.

[@EvidentlyFire]

The easiest way is to just check the serial number on the box for coverage. Also if the box says 2023 definitely fake. 350 woe. Can you get refunded?

[@chey3426]

Hope you treated her to some real ones 🌝

[@Skidday]

Got scammed (France), check if the firmware is up to date, if you can't update it, it might be a fake. If you buy on vinted, you have 2 days to report ...

Thank you! I saw a listing on marketplace for a kid selling them for $170 and thought they were fake, I watched this video before meeting up and it checked all the boxes so I bought it. I even later went to the apple store the next day to confirm it was real cause I was so shocked at the price I got them at, turns out they were real. Not sure if the kid stole it or just didn't know the value of them but your video helped a lot thank you!

[@mackspencer8938]

Just happened to me😢

[@EvidentlyFire]

How much did you pay, I'm gonna be honest some of the good fakes are really good headphones

[@Manisonlychannel]

Just happened to me on Poshmark and now I built a whole case on it trying to get it returned

[@jadenthomas1169]

I bought some really good replicas for $100, but the buttons click when you push them, the case is magnetic but its missing some of the details you described, and the quality of the audio was a giveaway. My Bose EarPods have that very deep noise cancellation and these do not have that depth. Either way, they are fine for my purposes but I wouldn’t mind having a real pair in the future…

[@Richard_M34]

If my airpod maxes meet all circumstances but i don’t have the pinhole. Is it fake?

[@TwelveBravo]

I wouldn’t say that it’s fake without the pinhole. Apple may have made some design changes over the years.

[@aliquresh87]

My sister got scammed and bought really good fakes. They had a warranty, proper serial number and looked/felt similar to the originals. Even the sound quality and noise cancellation is decent. The rep at the Apple store also thought it was legit. We sent them in for repair because it was glitching and it turned out to be fakes.

[@TwelveBravo]

Oh wow. That sucks! So sorry.

[@Skidday]

Me too, they saw that the serial number corresponds to another color .. in china... It was detected and usable as normal airpods max, but unable to update firmware ...

[@ssino9241]

How did you find out that they were fake?

[@sonu8ish]

So did Apple repair them or send them back? Did you get charged?

[@Skidday]

@@sonu8ish No they are not originals so they cant do anything except give you the proof that it's fake

[@virex0x]

After watching this video and spending time online, i snagged a deal for 250$ for some 3 months old Airpods Max, thankyou. I also got them checked out at the apple store near my house just for extra safety, but i was pretty much sure they were real after checking all your the things you pointed out.

[@TwelveBravo]

@@virex0x Nice. Good score!

I bought a pair that even show up on find my, I contacted apple support and they said they were authentic. Serial number checks out all my pair is missing is the pin hole. Are they fake?

The only way to be sure is to take them to an Apple Store. It may just be a design thing. Maybe yours are newer versions?

@@TwelveBravo the top was also able to be squished together and the buttons clicked. 🥲 pretty sure they’re fake but it’s ok I’m getting a refund from the scammer

[@PwoperSounds]

No pin hole = fake

[@angelsbiscuit5986]

The pin hole on the inside is the microphone that is used in the adaptive EQ feature, so no pin hole mic on inside means they are fake

If they are sealed - the real ones the pull tab actually opens the box, fake ones just pull off and do nothing as it’s a sticker😅.

[@Woohallie]

The fake looks and feels real🥺 i really thought mine is legit coz it says may name and airpod max and has find me too. Everything from the original they copied like the looks, its pretty heavy, it showed in the settings that like how my airpod pro looks like when u open it or remove from case and physically too itas like orginal :it has small hole when u remove the cuffs and all those prints and even siri works on it. How??? It gave away the case coz the inside is not suede but it has magnet and the stitching is good too. I guess it can pass as AA copy but wow🥳 they did very good how can these fakes show airpod max on my iphone 15 pro max is still boggles me.

In my case, it had a legit number. Likely what they used to clone it. It showed 4 months of AppleCare remaining...sent in to Apple, and they returned them as fakes... eBay refunded me but I lost about a month of my life dealing with it.

I purchased mine second hand. This is how I found out mine was genuine. As soon as I bought them I tried linking them to my I pad. My headphones appeared in my settings immediately and after clicking on the icon it took me directly to the headphone settings which listed the following. Ie date of purchase and remaining warranty, the serial number and model number. This would not happen if they were fake.

[@br83den]

Actually this can happen, my fakes do this and still have a valid serial number and warranty.

[@colinnicol9447]

Correct. I then took the details listed on my I pad and introduced them to the Apple verification site and it confirmed they were genuine. It would not confirm a fake pair.
