How to choose a seller?<\/h2>\n
If you want to buy an original phone and want to be 100% sure of this, and without paying much attention to the cost of the device, then immediately go to popular retail chains.<\/p>\n
And if you do not have enough funds or you are used to saving on purchases of quality things, then remember the following tips for choosing a reliable iPhone seller:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Always check seller reviews and ratings. You may have to look for additional information about him in a search engine, using his name or phone number. If this is an intruder, they are most likely talking about him on some sites, in social media groups or forums.<\/li>\n
- Ask for as many photos as possible with the gadget, device package, box and serial number. You may even have to call using a video call.<\/li>\n
- Do not skimp on questions that help you find out the history of the phone. In which store and how long have you purchased it? How much did they use it? Was it repaired? Have you dropped it? Only the owner will give answers to the questions posed, and the fraudster will be confused.<\/li>\n
- Check the warranty status and if the iPhone is locked. It is not necessary to have a guarantee, but this nuance will definitely be a good bonus!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
How to check an iPhone when buying in an online store<\/h2>\n
Online stores offer iPhones much cheaper than branded stores. However, such an acquisition is associated with certain risks.
\nHow to check the iphone correctly and what problems can you face when buying a phone over the Internet?<\/p>\nFirst of all, make sure of the very possibility of such a check. To do this, carefully read the terms of delivery and warranty. Do not hesitate to ask the manager again the important points of interest.<\/strong>
\nWe will tell you in more detail how to check an iPhone for originality and performance, as well as what you need to pay attention to when buying:<\/p>\n- \n
- It is necessary to thoroughly check the iPhone externally<\/strong>. There should be no dents, scratches, chips, cracks or other damages on the case and screen. IPhone screen protectors should fit snugly to surfaces (no “bubbles” underneath). Please note that the box is not opened before you. If you see signs of an autopsy, you should think about why it was opened before you and did not buy an iPhone.<\/li>\n
- It is also necessary to check the completeness of the iPhone. Perhaps the charging adapter will not be placed under European sockets, in which case the seller will be able to replace them. Or give an adapter as a gift.<\/li>\n
- To make sure that you are purchasing an original device, you should check the iPhone on the official Apple website (https:\/\/checkcoverage.apple.com\/ru\/ru<\/a><\/strong> ). To do this, you need to know the serial number of the iPhone, as well as its imei number. The information required is usually marked on the iPhone itself and on the shipping box. Checking imei iphone on the apple website is not difficult. You will find out if such an iPhone is listed in the company's database, its model, color and release date. Checking an iPhone by imei is also useful to identify a used device, or a phone taken from a showcase.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
- \n
- Make sure that the online store does not sell you a REF category device for the price of a new iPhone<\/strong> (an iPhone that has been repaired, refurbished or returned to the seller for other reasons). To do this, you need to check that the serial numbers, as well as imei numbers on the iPhone case, on the SIM card tray and on the box, are the same. Another sign of a refurbished iPhone is a white packaging without a pattern with the words “Apple Certified Refurbished” or “Apple Certified Pre-Owned.” You can also check it on through the official imei website. The refurbished iPhone will be activated before you and will not be covered by the manufacturer's warranty.<\/strong><\/li>\n
- In Russia, iPhones certified according to the Rostest and Eurotest systems are most often sold. IPhones “Rostest” are “white” devices officially imported into the country and adapted to its cellular networks with a full guarantee and service. “Gray” phones “Eurotest” are much cheaper, but they can be tied to one operator, not serviced in the Russian Federation and have no guarantee. The choice is yours. To distinguish one from the other, look at the packaging and documentation. If there are abbreviations “PCT” or “EAC” – this is “Rostest”.<\/li>\n
- Pay attention to the attached documents. Along with the box must be present – instruction, cashier's receipt, receipt (coupon) for the purchase and a letter of guarantee for the right to service. Documents must be certified by an official Apple dealer. They must contain – a description of the phone (model, serial number), date of purchase, cost, check or invoice number, contacts for contacting the dealer.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
So, in order for the long-awaited purchase of an iPhone in an online store to bring you only joy, first read the terms of the warranty and delivery, carefully check the iPhone by number, make sure that everything suits you, and only then buy it.<\/p>\n
How to check an iPhone before buying a used one<\/h3>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nThe situation is more complicated if you buy an iPhone from your hands. Such an acquisition requires a more careful approach and additional checks. To be sure of the purchase, completely protect yourself from possible fraud and correctly check the purchased iPhone, you will need the following:<\/p>\n
- \n
- A valid SIM card.<\/li>\n
- Charging cable and adapter.<\/li>\n
- Connecting to a Wi-Fi network.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Things to check especially carefully when buying an iPhone by ad:<\/strong><\/p>\n
- \n
- It is necessary to check the appearance of the iPhone, the presence of dents, chips, cracks and other damage. As a rule, it is better not to buy an iPhone with major mechanical damage. After another blow, the phone will stop working. In this case, repairs can cost a round sum.<\/li>\n
- The safest way is to check the iPhone by its serial number on the official Apple website (https:\/\/support.apple.com\/ru-ru\/HT201296<\/a><\/strong> ). Here you can check all the information you need about iPhone model, color and release date.<\/li>\n
- Having an iPhone box is always a plus for the seller<\/strong>. But here, too, you need to be careful. It is necessary to check the iphone again by imei and serial number. They must match those indicated on the iPhone packaging. If this is not the case and the previous owner of the iPhone kept silent about it, then perhaps he is hiding something.<\/li>\n
- It will not be superfluous to check the iPhone at www.chipmunk.nl, imei.info or iphoneimei.info. Using the IMEI number here you can check valuable information about your iPhone, such as model, color, release date, expiration date of the warranty, as well as check if the phone is on the list of stolen and wanted by the former owner.<\/li>\n
- There are 3 categories of purchased iPhones: 1) compatible with SIM cards of any operators without additional settings – “unlocked” or Neverlock “locked” or Lock “unlocked” or Softunlock<\/strong>. We recommend buying only the iPhone of the Neverlock category<\/strong>. The rest usually have problems. You can check if the iPhone is locked by the presence of a backing circuit in the SIM card tray, as well as by how easy the iPhone will be to connect to the network with your SIM card and whether it will require additional settings.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
- \n
- Next, we check the performance of the iPhone: 1) Buttons and switches should not sink,<\/strong> stick and respond slowly to pressing; 2) The Home button and the TouchID<\/strong> function combined with it should be triggered<\/strong> by a light, effortless press; 3) There should be no debris behind the camera lens, the photo should be clear and crisp, the image should be bright and focused The sensor should easily and quickly respond to touch<\/strong>, the icons should easily move after the finger; 6) The jacks for the headset, charging and data cable should not be loosened, they should provide a reliable connection; 7) The rechargeable battery must withstand the test talk mode<\/strong>, watching video over the Internet using Wi-Fi for several minutes with a maximum decrease in the charge level of no more than 1-3%.<\/li>\n
- Pay attention to the phone screen<\/strong>. Ideally, if it remains native, not repaired or replaced with a copy.<\/li>\n
- Check how the iPhone is charging.<\/strong> It should charge quickly and not get warm at this moment.<\/li>\n
- It is also necessary to check the work of frequently used applications – GPS navigation, text editors, media players, etc.<\/li>\n
- Be sure to ask the seller to disconnect the iPhone from the account and reset the previous settings. You can check the binding of the iPhone to iCloud on icloud.com<\/strong> using the serial number or IMEI number.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Now you know how to check an iPhone for authenticity, operability, integrity and linking to an account. If you have any doubts during the check, you can always bring your iPhone to our Service Center, where it will be professionally examined and tested by competent specialists. We will help you make the right decision and protect you from possible mistakes!
\nWe wish you a successful purchase and only positive emotions from using Apple appliances!<\/strong><\/p>\nWe check the authenticity of the iPhone.<\/h2>\n
Immediately, we want to say that when verifying the authenticity of an Apple smartphone, you can also define a “gray” or “white” iPhone in front of you.<\/p>\n
To verify the authenticity of a phone, we need to know its serial number and IMEI.<\/p>\n
The easiest. Is he untied<\/h3>\n
![\"IPhone](\"https:\/\/inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/post-68446-607ac89d6b8dd.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\nA smartphone can pass any test brilliantly, but if the seller finds it difficult to turn off Find iPhone – say goodbye, nothing will come of it.<\/p>\n
For those who are not in the subject: this tightly ties the iPhone to the owner of the Apple ID, and, in fact, gives him the keys to manage the device. For example, he can remotely lock your newly purchased iPhone and demand money to unlock it. He will know where you are. It's still a pleasure.<\/p>\n
The necessary item is hidden in the settings, in the “iCloud” section, but it is much easier to drive “Find iPhone” in the same place in the search.<\/p>\n
No locked iPhones<\/h3>\n
![\"IPhone](\"https:\/\/inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/post-68446-607ac89e38f4e.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\nNowadays, such devices are less and less common, but suddenly you are a retro lover in pursuit of the iPhone 3G. There is a chance to run into a locked smartphone. These iPhones were purchased overseas on a contract basis. Such pipes can cause a lot of inconvenience, for which, moreover, you have to pay.<\/p>\n
Here are a few signs by which you can tell if your smartphone is locked or not.<\/p>\n
- \n
- There is a substrate chip in the SIM tray.<\/li>\n
- The device has not been updated to the highest possible OS.<\/li>\n
- In Settings – Basic – This device is described by an operator different from the one in the status bar.<\/li>\n
- After rebooting, the device catches the network for a long time or requires a call to a specific number.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Such smartphones are not updated without the necessary manipulations, I see no reason to pay for them.<\/p>\n
Swimmer or not?<\/h3>\n
![\"IPhone](\"https:\/\/inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/post-68446-607ac89f069c2.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\nBuying drowned smartphones is extremely dangerous. You don't know how it was dried after falling into the water. Perhaps the iPhone was in the hands of adequate service providers, or maybe it was just put in rice. At the same time, the oxidation of the components is still going on, and the smartphone will “move horses” at any minute.<\/p>\n
It's a pity that this only pops up after opening the device. However, one marker is visible from the outside.<\/p>\n
- \n
- IPhone 5 and newer: Open the SIM card tray and look inside.<\/li>\n
- For other iPhones: Look into the 30-pin jack and headphone port.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Here then<\/a> you can see how it will look like the token triggered in a particular model of iPhone. If there are no red dots in the indicated places, then everything is in order, from this side the iPhone was not flooded. More precisely, the situation can only be clarified by the service center.<\/p>\n
Classic. Battery status<\/h3>\n
![\"IPhone](\"https:\/\/inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/post-68446-607ac8a01cdd5.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\nIt is clear that when buying a smartphone from your hands, you will have to endure all the jumps of a shabby battery. But wear on a one- to two-year battery is negligible.<\/p>\n
Typically, an iPhone will go through up to 500 charge cycles at least. At the same time, the loss of battery capacity is not felt. Do not think, the device continues to work even after, it is just that the “no plug” time is reduced.<\/p>\n
The number of full charge cycles can be checked using the free coconutBattery<\/a> utility. If you are too lazy to take a laptop with you, it is worth discussing with the seller in advance the possibility of installing the corresponding utility on the iPhone. Take Battery Life<\/a>, for example.<\/p>\n
Plus, in the latest iOS, it became possible to see the percentage of battery wear in the settings. Saves time.<\/p>\n
Exploring the screen<\/h3>\n
![\"IPhone](\"https:\/\/inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/post-68446-607ac8a11e0f5.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\nThe display is a treasure trove of weaknesses. What you need to pay attention to.<\/p>\n
Press the screen in different places with little force. There should not be anything crunching, creaking or dangling here. Otherwise, the smartphone was dropped or opened.<\/p>\n
The backlight should be uniform. Open an image with a white background and a black one and notice the glow around the edges. There should be no obvious spots and too bright places. If there are no such images, open any application with a suitable background. Well, or take a photo, for example.<\/p>\n
There should be no yellow spots on the screen. Those that appear after the smartphone overheats. The fact is that under the influence of temperature, the glue between the touchscreen and the display changes color. Similar jambs appear if the device is constantly squeezed, for example, kept in the back pocket of jeans and sat on hard surfaces.<\/p>\n
With the same set of pictures we check for stripes and broken pixels.<\/p>\n
How do I find the IMEI and serial number of an iPhone?<\/h3>\n
- \n
- On the box These identifiers of the smartphone must be indicated on the packaging.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
![\"IPhone](\"https:\/\/inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/post-68446-607ac8a1d43d8.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\n- \n
- In the settings, go to Settings> General> About this device.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
![\"IPhone](\"https:\/\/inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/post-68446-607ac8a296267.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\n- \n
- If the smartphone is not activated.Turn on the iPhone, then wait for the exclamation mark icon to appear at the bottom right of the display. Click on it and the screen will display the IMEI and serial number of this device.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
![\"IPhone](\"https:\/\/inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/post-68446-607ac8a5ae574.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\n- \n
- Universal way. Just type a request from the characters * # 06 # in the phone application and the IMEI number will be displayed on the screen.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
![\"IPhone](\"https:\/\/inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/post-68446-607ac8a671d90.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\n- \n
- On the sim tray. This method is not suitable for all models. Only the latest generations of smartphones iPhone 7\/8 and X have an IMEI on the sim tray.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
![\"IPhone](\"https:\/\/inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/post-68446-607ac8a726d59.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\n- \n
- On the back of the phone: On iPhones from 5S to 6S, the IMEI can be viewed on the back of the smartphone.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
![\"IPhone](\"https:\/\/inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/post-68446-607ac8a7eb498.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\nAfter you have figured out the identification numbers of your smartphone, it is very important to compare them with each other. To do this, write down the serial and IMEI numbers on a piece of paper, and then carefully check the IMEI number indicated on the box with the one displayed on the display – they must completely match.<\/p>\n
![\"IPhone](\"https:\/\/inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/post-68446-607ac8a8a629a.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\nInternational Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI).<\/h4>\n
Actually, the site of the international identifier itself is available at www.imei.info<\/a>. To check, you need to enter the 15-digit number in the “Enter IMEI” window.<\/p>\n
![\"IPhone](\"https:\/\/inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/post-68446-607ac8a9a3883.png\")
<\/a><\/p>\nAfter entering the number, press “Check”. Information about the iPhone will appear on the screen.<\/p>\n
![\"IPhone](\"https:\/\/inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/post-68446-607ac8aaca99d.png\")
<\/a><\/p>\nIf this information is not enough for you, click the “Read More” button – a full description of the device's functionality will appear, accompanied by a photo and 3D animation.<\/p>\n
\n
If the iPhone is found in the database by the IMEY number, the gadget is original.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Important:<\/strong> when registering on the website www.imei.info<\/a> through your mailbox, check the “Spam” folder – most likely, a letter with a proposal to activate your account will be there.<\/p>\n
How to check iPhone on Apple website?<\/h3>\n
To be completely sure that this is a genuine iPhone, you need to check the information about it on the official Apple website.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Go to the site <\/a>https:\/\/www.apple.com\/ru\/<\/a>.<\/li>\n
- Select “Support” from the site menu.<\/li>\n
- Scroll to the bottom of the page and find the link “Check service eligibility for your product” and click on it.<\/li>\n
- On the page that opens, you will see the field “Enter the serial number”, in which enter the serial number of the checked device.<\/li>\n
- Enter the captcha code below.<\/li>\n
- Click Continue.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Now, on the page, you can see the model of the tested phone, as well as information on technical support and the rights to service and repair the phone.<\/p>\n
It is very important that the warranty is valid, otherwise we recommend that you think carefully before purchasing such a phone.<\/p>\n
Please be careful if you decide to buy a used phone.<\/p>\n
Appearance<\/h3>\n
Before proceeding with the systemic methods of checking, it is worth examining the external qualities of the device. It is likely that even thanks to such a simple method, it will be possible to establish that the smartphone is a fake.<\/p>\n
First of all, you should pay attention to the logo, in the original Apple product the apple is bitten only on the right side, if there are any additional elements or the bite on the left is a fake. Also, the name may indicate an imitation, take a close look at all the letters, in the original the name of the iPhone, that is, if the letter is missing or added, it is already a fake.<\/p>\n
Do not believe that you have come across an iPhone model with some additional features that are missing in the original. A built-in TV, stylus, additional antennas, or the like are a sign of a fake. You can't be fooled by the tricks of the sellers, there is no such thing in Apple's assortment.<\/p>\n
The iPhone is a fairly conservative line, some elements in it certainly change, but there shouldn't be any additional SIM slots or microSD slots. At the same time, the amount of memory is quite standard – 32, 64, 128 and 256 GB, the presence of 40 or 70 GB clearly indicates a Chinese fake, and not important. It should be borne in mind that the working amount of memory is always less than the one specified when purchasing by an order of magnitude, since 5-10 GB is occupied by the operating system.<\/p>\n
iPhones prior to 5S were only available in standard white and black colors, if you see red, blue, gold, etc. colors, know for sure that this is a fake.<\/p>\n
Original devices have a non-separable case, so if you come across models where you can access the battery without disassembling the rear panel, the product is not original.<\/p>\n
Software<\/h3>\n
The next method to check the iPhone 7 for authenticity, including other models, is the operating system. No matter how hard the Chinese try, they cannot install an iOS device, and this is an important indicator of the iPhone. If, after activating your smartphone, you can go to Google Play and download applications from there, then you have Android, regardless of the data in the device information. In the original, the AppStore must be used to download something, if such an option is present, then everything is in order.<\/p>\n
In fact, there are not only deceptions with the help of fakes, but under the guise of new ones they can sell converted, stolen devices.<\/p>\n
CNDeepInfo.<\/h3>\n
This service allows you to check how high-quality the hardware of the tested smartphone is – as a rule, “underground” manufacturers use the lowest-grade components. CNDeepInfo<\/strong> service is universal and is suitable for checking not only iPhones, but also gadgets of other brands.<\/p>\n
Enter the IMEI number in the window and click the “Check” button. The result of the check will consist of several parts. The first part is the certificate<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
\n
The certificate confirms that the Apple iPhone is not stolen or lost by its original owner.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
If you want to know more about what information the certificate gives, click on the round button with the letter “i” – in the picture it is circled in red.<\/p>\n
A certificate in the form of a banner can be inserted into other resources. Click the button “HTML-code to embed on sites and forums”, and you will have access to all kinds of links and codes:<\/p>\n
A link, for example, to the image of the certificate, the seller of the iPhone can place in the advertisement for the sale – so it will increase the degree of confidence of potential buyers.<\/p>\n
The second block is “IMEI decryption”.<\/strong><\/p>\n
From this block, it becomes clear that the entire IMEY can be divided into 3 components:<\/p>\n
- \n
- TAC number – describes the model and origin of the phone (first 8 digits)<\/li>\n
- The serial number of the gadget is unique for each device (6 subsequent digits)<\/li>\n
- The check digit is the 15th digit, which allows you to check the correctness of all the previous ones. The check digit is calculated using the ” Moon<\/strong> ” algorithm – you can familiarize yourself with this algorithm here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
There are no two phones with the same IMEI numbers.<\/p>\n
The third block is “Detailed information”.<\/strong><\/p>\n
Alas, detailed information is not available during a free check – after clicking on the “Get information” button, you will be faced with an offer to pay.<\/p>\n
If you scroll down the page with the results of the check, you will find the button “Add to the list of lost or stolen”.<\/p>\n
If you lose your gadget, you should use this particular button – this way you complicate the task of selling the phone for the attacker.<\/p>\n
Connect to iTunes on Computer<\/h3>\n
Even if the methods described above showed that such a phone exists, you were provided with a box and in the smartphone settings there is an entry about the serial number and IMEI, you need to use additional verification methods, because Chinese underground companies have long learned to substitute information about real serial numbers, however in fact, devices with such identifiers are sold somewhere on the official shelves. That is, they simply made a copy of the device with the same IMEI or other identifier and provided it to you. That is why we recommend using iTunes, which automatically recognizes the connected Apple device and synchronizes the data.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Download the latest version of iTunes on your computer and use a USB cable to connect your smartphone to your computer;<\/li>\n
- Wait until the system detects a new device, and as soon as the drivers for it are installed, your iPhone will appear in iTunes;<\/li>\n
- If device information does not appear, check if the drivers were installed correctly or try plugging the USB cable into a different port. Otherwise, it can be assumed that the iPhone is not original, therefore, it is not detected by the program.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Attention! When connecting to iTunes and viewing device information, be sure to verify the serial number. It must match the number that is specified in the settings of this iPhone.<\/p>\n
Conclusion<\/h2>\n
It is better to check the iPhone by serial number and IMEI if you buy a sealed gadget – the seller is unlikely to agree to open the package just for you to look at the smartphone.<\/p>\n
