1. Check out the Serial Number
Every iPhone has a serial number that identifies it. So, by looking up
the serial number you can identify that whether your iPhone is available
in Apple’s database or not.
For this, locate the serial number by tapping “Settings,” choosing
“General” and selecting “About” and finally Scroll down to “Serial
Number”.
Now, enter your iPhone serial number to detect if it is real or not. If
you receive the message “we’re sorry, but this serial number is not
valid. Please check your information and try again”, it is likely that
the iPhone is fake.
#2. Check for the Apple Logo
Everybody knows that brands always include their logo on the products.
So, on the back of the iPhone you must see an iPhone (Apple) logo. If
you can’t find the logo, then it is not a real iPhone.
#3. Check for Siri
Siri on Apple iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch lets you use your voice to
send messages, make calls, set reminders, and more.
Siri has a great specialty that it can only be launched to an original
iPhone. And the fake one definitely can’t run it. So, by this fact
having in mind you can check if the iPhone is fake or real.

#4. Look up the Memory Card Slot
The original iPhones always have the fixed memory storage such as 16 GB,
32 GB and 64 GB. The real iPhone doesn’t have any SD Card slot to expand
the memory capacity.
So, take a look at the iPhone carefully to lookup the memory card slot,
and if you find the one, it means the iPhone is not real. It’s a fake
iPhone and you shouldn’t buy it.
#5. Look for the Screws
The original iPhone use the pentalobe screws, while the fake one uses
the normal cross screws. This might be proven a very important clue to
detect a fake iPhone.
#6. Check out the Position of iPhone Buttons
Generally, on the real iPhone, the sleep/wake button is on the top right
corner, while the volume switch and ringer switch are on the upper left
side. If the switch or buttons are not where they should be, then the
phone you are looking at is a fake one.
#7. Look at the Welcome Screen
If you’re unable to distinguish between a fake and real iPhone, this
clue will help you a lot. By having a look at the iPhone’s welcome
message and screen, you can easily find out if it’s fake or real.

So, turn off and then on the iPhone. A fake iPhone will have a welcome
screen, like the word “Welcome,” while the original one will show you
the logo of the iPhone.
Other than this, on the home screen you will find an iPhone store icon.
Just click on it. If it takes you to the Google store, the iPhone is
100% fake.
#8. Try Connecting iPhone with iTunes
If you purchased the iPhone and not sure that it’s real or fake, you can
use this tip and on finding the fake device you can refund later.
So, connect your new iPhone with a computer and try to run it with
iTunes. If you are receiving an error, then it means iTunes does not
recognize your phone; thus it is undetectable and fake.
#9. Check out the Font and Language
It’s another bigger clue that lets you easily find out the fake iPhone.
Just go to Messages and check out the font of the SMS, and it will show
you the Chinese character. So, you will have to configure your iPhone to
enable English. And it simply means that iPhone is not original.

#10. Check out the Number of SIM Card Slots
Before buying an iPhone, you should check out the number of SIM card
slots in an iPhone or ask it from dealer that how many SIM cards can be
used in an iPhone. If dealer says two SIM cards can be used at the same
time, it’s definitely a fake iPhone because Apple designs iPhone modes
with only single SIM card slot.
#11. Look for the Pre-installed Applications
Every real iPhone comes with some built-in apps such as Music, Photos,
Settings, Calculator, etc. If one of those are missing, the phone might
be jailbroken.
To be sure try to restore the original firmware. If some built-in
application is still missing after restoring the original firmware, then
it’s definitely a clone iPhone.
