As soon as it’s new high end smartphone emerges and a parallel market is established. This fakes. At this level, Apple is particularly affected. The iPhone 15s available as of today are unfortunately no exception to the rule, and we expect more or less well-made copies to appear on online sales sites. This phenomenon is a reality. Last April, a family was fined $51 million for selling fake iPhones for years.
Even the brand can be complicit in the system, despite itself. A man sent fake iPhones to Apple for 3 years to benefit from the warranty and get real iPhones instead. He then sold them without fear. This means that the company has every interest in finding these ways. Fight against clones of your smartphones. With its latest product range, it has added a system that you cannot see unless you use an Ultraviolet lamp.
iPhone 15 boxes have two watermarks invisible to the naked eye
In a video published on X (Twitter)famous leaker Majin Bu By passing a UV lamp into the right corners on the back of the box we can see two small watermarks. Of course one of these is to prevent scammers from trying to reproduce them QR code. It is assumed that it is related to the iPhone 15 inside just because it is on the packaging. Otherwise it would be possible to sell a fake mobile phone in a real box.
At the buyer level, it is also possible to check whether the serial number on the box matches the serial number of the device inside. These recommendations mainly relate to: second hand sales or refurbished products. If you manage to get your hands on the iPhone 15 at an Apple Store despite the strike, there will be no problems.
The cases of the new iPhone 15 are equipped with a security system that displays holograms under UV light. This is a measure Apple has put in place to recognize real boxes and prevent people from being scammed. pic.twitter.com/oBhQoc5IDI
