Consumer claims cell phone already came with signs of use
In the report, the man states that, upon opening the box, he realized that the device had a film already applied. The first thing she thought about was whether she had received a returned product.
Even with the initial strangeness, he decided to turn on the cell phone and noticed that the camera had different lighting, in addition to the screen not being clearly OLED.
Despite completely strange suspicions, he tried to configure the device. The surprise came when the process was completed.
According to the information, the device ran the Android operating system and it already came with applications like Facebook and TikTok pre-installed.
The man reported that the operating system crashed several times, clearly being an imitation of iOS, when using a launcher to appear authentic.
He said he feels concerned because many people may purchase these phones thinking they are legitimate and end up logging in with their Apple IDs, Facebook and Google accounts, which can lead to problems.
He filed a complaint with support Apple and is awaiting a response from the company to clarify what happened.
To date, the company has not issued a statement on the matter.
