First thing I would look at is the phone inside the box, but I’m crazy 😂

[@KUBAMODS]

a tip that will work 99% of the time : china factories dont make clones/fakes for cheaper models, like they make clones for the 14 plus but not the smaller 14, and they make the pro max but not the smaller 14 pro, and for the 13 series they dont make the mini, they make just the regular 13 and the pro max, so if you are buying a sealed iphone 14/14 pro (not plus/max) then you arent getting a fake iphone, you either get a real iphone or a empty box

[@KUBAMODS]

and also even if the box is real they can just buy a fake and a real iphone, swap the 2 boxes so the fake has real box and then seal it up because the paper tabs you can get for a few cents and its very easy to reseal

[@TechInsomnia]

Really appreciate the tip and you taking the time to comment and share it with us my friend. 🙏 I didn't know this but it makes perfect sense and I will pass along the information to any Clients of mine that are looking to buy new sealed iPhones via third part sellers. 💯 Thank you 🙏🙏

The QR code on the iPhone 15’s should be a bit light/faded away, on fake iPhone 15’s it’s just like a normal QR code

[@Ultimate_Gameplay]

Where can I buy cheap clones.

[@TechInsomnia]

No idea. Check AliExpress or EBay maybe.

[@HGJVerschuur]

So the iphone 14 pro max also doesn’t have a sticker on the back?

[@mattarificwolflink9280]

Yeah im never buying a phone from anyone but apple or verizon (my local mobile network)

Try playing genshin and you'll know

[@Belajarvilla]

But box can be original, many use original boxes and sell fake iPhone inside

[@nikolaismith3189]

What about iphone 15 pro? Us it the same packaging?

[@TechInsomnia]

I’ll be able to tell you in one week. Thank you for your comment and the video idea my friend. 🙏

[@hesamv.n5757]

How about the IMEI? can you be assured by that? I mean does the fake iPhone have an actual IMEI its box?

[@TechInsomnia]

I wouldn't go by that because anyone could just put any random real IMEI that they copied and printed from a real iPhone that was the same model and spec.

[@camillamanipon9704]

Do you have any tips of spotting a fake sealed IPad Pro?

[@TechInsomnia]

I have a few more videos to edit and publish that will compare Apple Original Packaging vs Fake on AirPods Pro 2 and there will be tips on things to look out for that will apply to iPad boxes as well. Till then the best thing I can think of that is a simple idea is to Google or ask ChatGPT the precise digital weight of the exact iPad you plan on buying and bring a digital scale with you. Might be able to find that info out by calling Apple directly. I feel like it would be very unlikely that a thief or scammer or someone who knows it’s fake would think that far ahead to get the weight perfect. That plus the feel and appearance of the sealed product could give the average person more tools to know for sure before purchasing. Another thing you can do is call Apple with the person your buying from in front of you and let them know you just want to check the current status of the IMEI from them directly before you hand over any money. Just let the Apple rep on the phone know you’re about to buy a phone and want to make sure it’s not blacklisted or reported stolen or IMEI blocked. If the seller is genuine they won’t mind and the person your speaking to at Apple will give you the green light. If the seller takes off then you know that something was up. Never show money without doing a thorough check and always always always meet in a public place with lots of cameras. Maybe a mall or somewhere with security. Better safe then sorry. 💯 Wishing you the best and safe shopping my friend. 🙏 Really hope this helps 🤞

Is this original box or fake box?

[@nimishsrivastava2607]

Original

[@MichaelCheatum1]

Bought a fake today got got!

[@TechInsomnia]

It happens to us all my friend but most times after the first time it will never happen again. 💯💪💥

[@mythicgamingmk1105]

My parents bought my iPhone 14 from T-Mobile store

[@TechInsomnia]

Excellent! Is that in the states and if so do you use it with an eSIM? If so, do you notice any difference from previous sim card operation on your last phone? Please pardon my curious nature my friend 🙏

[@mythicgamingmk1105]

@@TechInsomnia it’s pretty good and that’s why my dad did not have to do any paper work

I got scammed out of thousand bucks today got sold a fake 14 pro max been saving for an while to get it

[@TechInsomnia]

That's the worst feeling ever.. Especially when you worked and saved for it. Sorry to hear this happened to you. It's happened to the best of us. Happened to me when I was younger with a BlackBerry Bold that had a fake battery that would only stay on for 10 minutes and I worked hard back then (like now) to buy nice tech.. I wish I could offer more than the usual "this helped you grow as a person" response. I wish I could find that person and get your money back and drive you to the apple store to get that exact phone. 💯 It bothers me when people get scammed. It's not right. Had to make this video in the hope that it would hopefully help in prevention type way. I'm going to make another one soon. One of my best friends was sold a fake sealed AirPods Pro Gen 2 and want to put if side by side with the real one and do a comparison video showing what to look for. If you're up for it can you leave a few key details in another comment on this video describing what were key indicators that the one you were sold is fake? That way anyone seeing this video, will potentially see what you wrote and know better what to look for should they find themselves in a similar situation? 🙏 I will pin your comment. 💯

[@nassimarib6071]

I’m sorry for you ! Can u please tell me how u got scammed and how did u know that?

[@defthades476]

@@nassimarib6071 so we had met in a public area I first checked the imei he says I can open it once he sees the money so I don’t “run” I fell for it passed the money to my sister 950$ in an envelope I start opening it he grabs the money out of my sisters hands and runs and we couldn’t catch up I had sold my phone for this so I couldn’t take an picture and luckily at that moment cops drove by we told them to pull over and we drove around but he was gone, the phone had a SIM card slot which we don’t have in the us and it had a blue reflection on the cameras aswell as very cheap overall material it looks like ios but the keyboard is android style and very laggy and it even uses lightning to charge and says it’s running iOS

[@rcgnetworks]

Try to use CCTV to identify the Scammer.

[@TechInsomnia]

@@defthades476 Thank you brother. Android keyboard but says it’s running iOS and charged with lightning cable… What in the absolute ****.. Any chance of CCTV? I’m sure you’ve already tried that. What phone are you using now? Do you need one brother? I’ve got a few older iPhones kicking around. Nothing crazy but something in a pinch. 🙏

[@Galactic333]

[@TechInsomnia]
