All official iPhones are certified and have a warranty card from the telecom operator. And those iPhones that are locked (unlocked) cannot have a warranty and cannot use certified software.

Locked phone or "locked" - a phone that only supports SIM cards of a certain operator. If the term "unlocked" or "unlocked" phone is used, it means that the device can work with any SIM card and is not tied to a specific telecom operator.

If iPhone 7 unlocked, then some Apple software products, such as iCloud, Cydia, cannot be installed from official sources.

In any iPhone, the Russian language is configured automatically, which cannot be said about the unlocked iPhone 5S, where it will not be so easy to install the Russian language. When an iPhone 5S is unlocked, it is not subject to warranty service, since in Russia only Beeline and MTS, which are iPhone suppliers, provide direct maintenance under warranty. They carry out the guarantee on special coupons when promoting Apple... Consequently, other warranty coupons are a sign of a jailbroken iPhone. How to check the authenticity of a hand-bought iPhone?

Potential buyers usually have the opportunity to check the functionality of the product on site, view the menu and test all the possibilities. If you can't visit the store in person, you can find it on YouTube official brand channel and watch video reviews of the model, which tell in detail about all the technical aspects of the device.

Highlights visual highlights:

• the presence of several slots for SIM cards - iPhones are sold with one SIM card without any exceptions, additional space indicates a fake;
• the iPhone case is non-separable under normal conditions, that is, without special equipment, neither the seller nor the buyer can remove the back panel in order to get, for example, a battery and install SIM cards under it - such an iPhone will not be original;
• a clear discrepancy in the diagonal of the screen and, accordingly, the incorrect dimensions of the case - you can check the exact data on the brand's website;
• often on the market there are iPhones with a retractable antenna, which also cannot be in the original configuration of the phone;

• on the original iPhone, you can always find in system applications App Store, which you can freely enter and make a purchase of an application or install a free one through it (on a fake device, when entering the App Store, you will be logged into Play Market for Android);
• holding Home button, the user will call the voice assistant Ciri, which is available only on original devices (not for all models).

Identifying a non-original iPhone is more difficult than preventing the acquisition of one, so a number of rules must be followed. It is actually very simple to protect yourself from buying a fake. For this you need:

• buy Apple products exclusively in branded stores, that is, brand representatives in the country, without resorting to the help of either individuals or third-party online stores;

Now every buyer can find the official channel of the brand on YouTube and see reviews of all existing models, go to the manufacturer's website and ask the support service. At the same time, you should buy devices only in branded stores, without using third-party Internet sites or resellers' assurances that the phone is original. This will help protect yourself from buying a fake.

The "fashion" of fraudsters to sell some obscure fakes on Android under the guise of real iPhone 7 has practically passed. In 2017, people will recognize this deception once or twice. But while such devices still exist, it is still worth warning about them.

What is a non-original iPhone 7? It's a copied design, ugly hardware, and Android instead of iOS. In an amicable way, such a phone costs 1-1.5 thousand rubles. However, it is very easy to distinguish an iPhone 7 from a fake. When you turn it on, go to the app store. Even if it has an icon Apple App Store, on fake will open Google play.

This is what the Apple App Store looks like

In general, before buying, it is better to use an iPhone a little. If you have had an Apple smartphone before, you will recognize a fake at first glance. If not, then ask your friends to "play" or go to some store where iPhones are exhibited for demonstration. "Poke" in seven minutes 10-15, and you can go to a meeting with the seller - you can easily distinguish the original from the fake.

The design is one to one, but the "insides" differ dramatically

The device is original. What to check next?

The presence of a check. If there is no complete set, then it's okay - anything can happen. But the check must be mandatory. So you will know for sure that a person once went and bought new smartphone, not stole it or got it in some other way.

Enter the serial number on the Apple website

Go to "Settings" - "General" - "About device" and find the serial number. We rewrite it and go to the Apple website.

There you need to enter the serial number. You will receive information about how many months of warranty are left and when the device was activated. If the data does not match what the seller told you, leave immediately. If the serial number is not recognized at all, then this is clearly a fake.

It should be something like this

IMEI

Another way to distinguish an iPhone 7 from a fake is to check if the IMEI matches in the settings (it is also listed in the "About the device" section) and on the SIM card tray. If not, then before you is a restored smartphone, which was collected from several donor devices.

What's wrong with refurbished smartphones?

If the phone was restored by Apple or a store with a lot of experience and many positive reviews, nothing. Even if there is something wrong with it, it will be repaired under warranty. But if they are trying to sell you a refurbished iPhone 7 under the guise of a new one, this does not fit into any gate, you do not need to buy such a device.

Well, it looks like the iPhone 7 is genuine. What's next?

Distinguishing the original iPhone 7 from a fake is only half the battle. Not every original is worth buying. Be patient and get ready to test everything.

• First of all, go over the appearance. If there are scuffs and scratches on the case, then this is normal - the former owner used a smartphone, and did not blow off dust particles from it. But if the smartphone is bent, then this is a reason to think and not make a deal.
• Check all buttons and connectors.
• Connect your smartphone to the charger - it shouldn't be interrupted, and the phone shouldn't overheat.
• Insert your SIM card and check how calls and internet work.
• Record a video with audio and talk to Siri to test the microphones.
• Press lightly on the screen. If it is pressed through and multi-colored traces appear on it, it means that the display was once changed.
• Enter your fingerprint and test Touch ID.

If at least something in the smartphone arouses suspicion, then it is better to look for another option. The iPhone 7 is not a shortage, you can easily find another offer at a similar price.

If everything suits you, then before giving the money, unlink the account of the previous owner and activate the smartphone as new with your account. If the seller refuses to untie his Apple ID, then this is a fraudster who stole a smartphone and does not know the password.

How can I be 100% sure that I will buy a normal iPhone 7?

No way. For example, a seller's phone fell into the water, he dried it and put it up for sale. How do you determine this in half an hour of checking? No way. Or, for example, you come home, and it turns out that the phone's battery is running low, and the iPhone 7, which is not a record holder in operating time, lives by 30-40 percent less than usual. We'll have to change the battery.

And such nuances - a cart and a small cart. So think a hundred times whether it is worth buying an iPhone 7 off hand.

Instead of taking risks, spending a lot of time and nerves on checking, it is better to dig a little and buy new iPhone 7. Plus, the iPhone 7s is coming soon, so iPhone price 7 is no longer as biting as in autumn and winter. In our store, the cost starts at 37,990 rubles for a model with 32 GB of memory and a one-year warranty.

Apple products are very popular, so there are many craftsmen who, with varying degrees of success, try to produce counterfeit products. As a rule, such counterfeit goods come from our Chinese neighbors. In the Celestial Empire, almost every day, another copy of the iPhone is released, but it does not differ in its long service life. In addition, taking this fake out of the box, you can find that it does work on the Android operating system.

Many unscrupulous stores and sellers take advantage of the similarities between counterfeits and original iPhones (and the much lower price of counterfeit) in order to then sell the smartphone to gullible buyers under the guise of a genuine device. And although it doesn't exist universal way to expose a fake, there are points to check when buying an iPhone (even in a store). We asked experts to tell you how to tell an original iPhone from a fake one.

Frame. First of all, there should be no gaps between the screen and the case, the display must fit snugly to the base. Attention should also be paid to the buttons: they should be without "backlash", easy to press, with a characteristic smooth click. No crunching or crackling is allowed - this is a clear sign of a fake.

Examine the inscriptions on the case itself: so that they are even, read without problems, and have no errors and typos. It also shows the model number and IMEI, which can be checked on the official Apple website.

You can even identify a copy by the paint of the case: if it is erased and leaves marks on your hands, you should immediately put such an iPhone aside. Sometimes a plastic case is also installed on fakes instead of an aluminum one - the material is very easy to distinguish: aluminum keeps cold, and if you knock on it slightly, you will hear a characteristic metallic sound.

Screen. On iPhone screen is always deep black and can be only slightly lighter than the body if the smartphone is made in a dark color. If the screen is gray or noticeably lighter than the body, it is no longer original. This does not indicate that the entire smartphone is a fake, but it makes it clear that the iPhone has at least been in questionable service center.

Camera. The camera lens must be flat and neatly positioned in the designated area on the body. Dust under the glass of the camera and other suspicious effects are also indicative of opening and repairs.

Back panel and ports. In no case should the Apple logo be pry off with a fingernail - it is made of stainless steel and is securely recessed into the lid, as it is an element of it. The back cover must not be removed: housing iPhone any models - monolithic.

On right - iPhone copy

There should be no antennas, unnecessary parts and ports (except for 3.5 mm and Lightning, and with the iPhone 7 - only Lightning). There are no slots for memory cards in the SIM card tray of the iPhone - only for a SIM card (Nano format).

Pay attention to the Lightning port - on the sides there are neat bolts with a thread for a five-sided screwdriver. If the bolts are damaged, the thread is torn off or there are noticeable scratches, then the device was opened, and of poor quality. The originality of the "filling" can be immediately questioned.

It is also worth testing the Sound / Vibration switch slider on the side end - there should be a clear vibration response when switching to quiet mode.

Above - a copy of the iPhone

Be sure to turn on your iPhone

It may sound strange, but some customers do not actually turn on the iPhone when buying, relying only on appearance, complete set and box.

First, the fingerprint sensor should work properly. If you buy an iPhone "hand-held", ask to add your fingerprint.

The screen of the original iPhone should not give off blue, green or other shades. All colors are juicy and pleasant. Tilt the device and look at the picture - even at a large angle, the colors and the image will not change. The iPhone has very good viewing angles, so a non-original screen will show itself immediately.

The iOS interface should literally please the eye - crisp readable fonts, flat, square app icons with rounded corners. Work operating system smooth, without "lags" and jerks.

Little trick: take a look at the Clock app icon. On the dial, the arrows will certainly move (in some "pseudo-iOS" such trifles may be absent).

Subtleties of the interface. Open the app and try downloading any iOS app, like Numbers or Garage Band. Firstly, when you open the App Store, there should be no redirects to the browser (and even more so to Google Play), and searching for these programs will allow you to install them.

Also look in Settings for items such as iCloud and Find My iPhone. The fakes have learned to copy the settings menu with particular accuracy, but you will not find these functions there.

In fact, the most effective way to check the originality of the iPhone and its operating system is to download the iTunes application to your computer from the official Apple website. After connecting the smartphone to the computer, the program recognizes the original device by providing information about its serial number and model.

Be sure to purchase Apple products from trusted resellers - for example, AppleInsinder.com partner -. Only then can you protect yourself from getting into the network of scammers, of which there have been a lot of them on the market lately. SmartPrice sends all its smartphones to a certified center for diagnostics, where specialists identify all device defects.

We remind you that the site together with launched a project with which you can not only buy an iPhone much cheaper, but also exchange your old smartphone for a new one. You can buy any of the Apple smartphones with a maximum savings of up to 30 thousand rubles.

When buying a previously used iPhone, you need to know how to check it by IMEI. This is a special identification number of the device, confirming its authenticity and originality. After checking, you can find out a lot of information about the phone, for example: the date of its purchase and activation, whether it is recovered, the version of its OS, and much more. How to do it? Several basic and proven methods are described below.

There are 4 main ways to do this. Let's consider them in more detail.

1. Take a look at the back of your phone.

IMEI information is required to check blocking iPhone activation... If it is activated, then the new owner will not be able to enter their data and fully use the device. By checking, you can make sure that the iPhone is really new and has not been used before. If the phone is bought from hands, then you will know for sure the date of its initial activation.

Compare the code on the box and the phone

First of all, after the iPhone came into your hands, you need to compare the information indicated on the box and in the device settings. If all numbers, including IMEI, serial number and model, match, then you can proceed to the next stage of verification. If differences are noticed, then this indicates that the box is "non-native" and taken from another device.

Attention! Do not buy an iPhone if the IMEI code on the box does not match the one specified in the device settings.

In this case, it is worth thinking about the origin of the device and the reasons why they are trying to slip you a completely different box. There can be a variety of options, for example, the iPhone was stolen from the real owner, or he lost it, and a stranger is trying to sell the found or stolen thing. In this case, the real owner will contact the police and the device will be wanted. This situation can get you into a lot of trouble, so avoid these dubious deals.
