Launched this September, the iPhone 7 is already one of the most popular smartphones on the market, selling incredibly well, especially when it comes to the Black and Jet Black models, which are already sold out. Too good to be true! The problem with this is that a lot of scammers are aware of this and they’re trying to sell iPhone 7 knockoffs at relatively lower prices, claiming that the devices they’re selling are the real deal. And you don’t want to end up without a Chinese copy of the iPhone 7, right, We’ve put together a short guide on how to spot a fake iPhone 7, containing a few tips which will help you differentiate knockoffs from original handsets and avoid any unpleasant situations. Let’s begin, shall we, Before paying a third-party seller for a so-called original iPhone 7, take the phone to an Apple Store and compare it with a phone from there. If the seller is willing to give you an original smartphone, he/she won’t have anything against this. On the other side, if they seem reticent, it’s better to avoid buying it.
See if the phone has all the details, the same build quality and feels the same in the hand. Also, compare the weight, as there shouldn’t be any difference between the two. Finally, another design detail which should reveal if an iPhone 7 is fake or not is the height of the camera. Most fake variants have a much smaller profile, compare to authentic smartphones. Even though fake handsets can be pretty accurate sometimes, replicating even the writing from the back of the phone precisely, it’s the position of this chunk of text that could help you avoid being scammed. Yes, we know this is an iPhone 7 Plus, but this image can tell you where the writing should be placed, using the antenna lines as a reference point. One of the features that make iPhones stand out is the haptic feedback offered by the display. Before buying one, see if this feature works properly.
