People who wants to own an iPhone must be very wary when buying an iPhone from strangers. May fake iPhones are roaming around. These iPhones are said to be from Russia.
These fake iPhones are often being sold in the manner of a big rush, something like “Look, bro, I don’t have enough money for my train/plane tickets or whatever, but I’ve got a real iPhone, look the battery is dead but when you turn it on pushing the power you can see an apple logo for a while, so just charge it and you have an iphone!”. Sadly, many people fall for this crap and then when they think that their iPhone is broken it to the service centers where they are being disassembled, they will find out that inside there is no anything looking like iPhone inner stuff but only two watch batteries and a light bulb lighting an apple logo shadow when the power button is being pressed, also there is a bar of steel so that the phone can weigh like a real thing. Take a look at the pics below.
This is the back of the fake iPhone (looks like the real thing huh?)
And here is what it looks like when you open it up
Here is the steel plate to make it as heavy as the original
And here is the Apple logo
At first glance, this thing looks like a real iPhone, so people should be aware that such knock-offs are now roaming aound. You should always be careful when you’re buying an iPhone, it is always better to buy on Apple Store or certified distributors, better be safe than sorry.
