Shortly after the start of sales of the iPhone 15, it was learned that Apple placed secret symbols in the boxes of smartphones indicating the originality of the devices. In less than a week, underground factories in China learned to counterfeit these brands. reports Official insider Majin Bu.
Hidden scars can only be seen under ultraviolet light. They are applied to seals that protect the boxes from tampering. These labels contain the text “iPhone” and a small DataMatrix code. Now the Chinese have been able to replicate this feature, which is expected to help buyers distinguish between fake and used iPhones disguised as new.
“The Chinese have already copied the iPhone 15 seals, so be careful when buying a new iPhone 15 online and do all the necessary checks to make sure everything is OK,” Majin Bu warned.
Therefore, when purchasing iPhone 15 smartphones from an unverified store or online, this verification method will no longer be helpful. However, you can verify the authenticity of the device on the Apple website by entering the serial number of the device. This method will also help you find out the activation date and warranty period of your smartphone.
