- We look into what Apple and 3rd party replicas look like in 2024. Yes scammers are out there and they are getting good at making their products seem authentic. This is what you need to spot the fakes

I feel like the ONE thing reviewers miss with these videos are recording them from the time they are sealed with the plastic cuz A LOT of fakes out there get ppl with SEALED boxes and there are a few signs ppl need to be aware of inspecting the outside..
Yeah I wish I could have shown that, but my camera crashed the first time I recorded sorry
I was waiting for you to mention the copyright date code on the back of box. If I’m correct the legit ones will have 2020 while the fake ones will have 2023 this can be a dead give away when looking at a sealed pair. Please correct me if I’m wrong.
Believe that is right
Exactly you nailed it
That's why I always ask seller to show date on box it's an easy spot.
where is the date code located in a new box?
Be careful, mate. I have purchased fake ones with “2020” on the box. This is with the newer silver ones
You forgot the horizontal line on the smart case. That's a big giveaway.
Thanks you’re right!
I almost got a scam set. Dec 2023 purchase date verified by Apple serial number. 2024 copyright date on box 😳. Also, no space between the (S) and Serial No. on sticker
2024!!!!! Wow they are keeping the date current, cray stuff!!!!!!! Thanks for the comment and update
Does the serial number in the phone match the headset in the ear?
my fake ones had matching serial numbers so ignore that.
Serial numbers are typically tied to “real” or “authentic” AirPods Max devices. Meaning what ever the serial is on your device will appear to be real, but will actually just be someone else’s AirPods Max. Confusing for sure, but it’s why I’m so confused to why apple hasn’t addressed the issues
So where can we buy them?
Basically everywhere, they’re aren’t good
if i can ping them from find my whilst they’re in the smart case are they real?
So if you can ping them when you are not connected via Bluetooth (and it basically uses other nearby devices to spy on it) then they are real. I tested this exact thing out with the fakes, basically it only convinces the device connected directly to it. So alternatively if you tried to ping them with another device on your account (extra iPad or iPhone) that haven’t Bluetooth connected with them……. That’s a good test. Because it won’t go through apples network
best way i was able to check is to try and remove the head brace as everything else seems fine. if you can not remove the head brace then is fake.
Yes, under the earcups is a quick one too
How to tell from the box?
gotta open them since even fake serial numbers are linked to real airpods.
Typically look at the copyright date. It should not be 2023 or 2024: those are fakes.
Apple hasn’t changed the original copyright date on the box, even if you bought them today at the apple store
@@ryandehamer what year should they be
@@jxmal2020
I can’t tell if mines are fake I check the serial number on box and coverage I can’t tell
What year does the box have on the copyright/trademark
@@ryandehamer it has 2023
then it’s definitely fake
My fakes have the tiny holes also
Yeah they are always improving
Its not True mate, New version on aliexpres for a out 139 $ has holes and metal shells...
Right the one I am showing you has metal and holes, some of the older ones were plastic and didn’t have them. They are getting better at the fakes for sure
Can you check if the fake one jump between Apple devices only connecting to iPhone and if it updates firmware value
Firmware doesn’t update on demand, but if they are real it should eventually update
@@ryandehamer Nice, the best way to identify the is the iCloud functionality to jump between devices. If you pair it on the iPhone and it jumps to the MacBook without pairing it in the Macbook it is genuine, if not it is just a Bluetooth device
No fakes say 2020? I’m only asking cause I’m buying some tomorrow. If it says 2020 on the box and it’s sealed does it mean it’s real guaranteed or ?
Yes you should be good if it's got 2020. Stay away from 2023.
Well I wouldn’t make a sweeping decision about that, but 100% fake if it says 2023, not guaranteed if it says 2020
Where is it located?
I got hit with these smh they have gotten crazy good with the clones
Exactly
So if they appear in Find My they are real?
Nope mines do and they fake
They will show up in the app but they don’t really work like a true Apple device, so it will seem like they are in “find my devices”
That’s why it’s worth looking at all the factors
Where do you buy the fake ones
Some bigger cities people are selling locally, but alibaba AliExpress eBay etc
Can you send me the link for these fakes with metal casing@@ryandehamer
90% of the new listings on ebay are fake lol
Really!!??! That’s crazy
People get scammed when they are cheap 😂✌🏻
Yup
The key is you cannot update the firmware in the fake
Only hard part about verifying that, you can’t prompt out initiate a software update, it happens randomly
Airpods max clone cant but the regular airpods clone can. Airoha, huilian, beehool version can be updated.
Yup that’s how I found out mines were fake
@@kendrickcontentdo u have to update fireware?
@@slickjackson9003you can’t if they fake
All I'm saying... $1000 bucks for a pair of "real" made by a Chinese 9yr old or a $200 pair of "fakes" made by that same 9yr old Chinese kid that look feel and sound the same? yeah, pass those fakes please.
Ok
You got great videos man.👍🏻 explained well
I got a question why do you got such a big problem with them being fakes if somebody could afford that then that’s OK with who can afford that the companies worth billions so who cares if they’re taken from them?
Don’t have a problem, just want to make sure people spend their money knowing what they are getting. Some people believe they are getting authentic products at a huge discount. So just spreading awareness
Thank you
It’s about being scammed into paying for real ones, not about what someone can afford
Simple solution is to buy good headphones instead of apple garbage fake or real
The so-called “good” headphones also have fakes being distributed, so you’ve clearly MISSED the purpose of the whole video.🙄
Always a choice to spend YOUR money how you see fit
@@FlightMare23 if you cant afford a headphone and go the second hand route thats your own fault! Just buy it from the manufacturer, too expensive? Either save up or buy something in your price range. This is the problem with this generation they all have to flash cash they dont have or in this case headphones they cant afford! Show me a fake copy of bowers & Wilkinson or a sennheiser, both have superior sound and cost less then these horrible fashion cans!!!! I guess i can't say anything to convince a apple fanboy
@@deelee2834 The opening line of that comment clearly wasn’t aimed at me, as I literally said the exact same thing in a previous comment.
Secondly, Apple fanboy, as opposed to a B&W or Sennheiser fanboy? Once again I’ll reiterate, BOTH those brands also have fakes being distributed too, as do ALL brands of headphones.
This isn’t exclusive to only Apple, yet you seem to have inferred it?
You clearly haven’t done your research properly if you think Apple are the ONLY brand that have fakes being distributed.
I’ve actually done the research below 👇🏽 that you’re clearly too lazy or ignorant to do for yourself.
So unless you’re designing your own software & building your own hardware, we’re ALL fans of someone else’s BRAND. So I always find the over-use of the term “fanboy” ironic when somebody is trying to critique one particular brand whilst simultaneously bragging about another.
A smarter man would’ve spotted the IRONY.🙃
You’re no different, or that smart, it appears.
Seems as if you’re maybe just hopping on this thread to continuously tell us how much you dislike Apple?
As the dude above your 2nd pointless post beautifully articulated, people can spend THEIR money on whatever THEY like. I agree with him, until they then come online complaining about the quality of what is clearly a fake pair. Duh 🙄
That was the purpose of my post.
However, the purpose of your post STILL eludes me?
