They will sell these like a hot cake in Africa and Latin America, who will know if your phone is fake while you use as a phone or taking pictures??? I am glad they do it, what else you expect if you move your factories in China. 🥰
I suspect that this phone isn’t even a scam, many people in China buy things knowing full well that they’re fake, manufacturers sometimes even straight up tell you it’s an imitation. A lot of people are poor and iPhones are a status symbol, while others just like the look of the phone but don’t really care about specs.
@@mujtabaalam5907 actually it does. And it only comes fairly close. He made no mention that the storage and ram are often 10 times less than what the real phone has on fake phones, even if the phone reports the proper ammount on the settings(software trick) also speaking about software a fake apple phone will have android on it disguised as apple os, so at that point it's not even close to being similar. Also on fake apple phones the display panel & camera are junk in quality and color reproduction compared to a real apple phone. In short it really does matter. Oh one more thing about fake phones, they load spy scam and phishing software on them right at the factory, no need to accidentally download these yourself.
You're not the only one surprised about the speed at which this came out, thank good all my family members either into tech so they know how to tell the fakes or to skeptic to buy from anywhere but the official store🍐
I regard myself as a person with technical skills and would not recognize it as a fake. I would probably get suspicious only once the FaceID failed. But it is possible, that they recreated the FaceID setup so it might get unnoticed - and later they could simply go with 2D face recognition, which would more or less work.
@phonerepairguru Would you be able to provide more inforamation about its software: - What operating system does it run? - Does it receive any system software updates? - Does it have any operational AppStore for installing additional apps? Thank you 😀
Android, typically either android 6, 7 or even 10 if it has a decent cpu. No, no fake will get updates. It should have access to any store a normal android phone has, as long as it has google play services, otherwise you can download apps from a lot of websites.
That is very interesting. It is really sad that people take advantage of people who may not know the key differences between fake and real products. Thanks for continuing shedding a light on this! 🍐
What’s sad is apple making barely better devices in sweat factories and selling them for $1,100 more. I have a 15pm, it’s a good phone but not $1,300 good.

I am convinced that, as is often the case, our Chinese friends somehow managed to get their hands on the CAD files for the iPhone 15 housing. Otherwise, achieving such remarkable precision in replication would be implausible. The remaining features seem relatively easy to emulate from a software standpoint. I remember an interview many years ago with a German manager from Transrapid team, discussing the relocation of research&production from Germany to China. He described how Chinese individuals, discreetly "working" after hours, navigated through the production halls and offices with flashlights, meticulously copying all the technological details. A few years later, China proudly unveiled the world's first officially recognized magnetic train connection. I've heard that in Chinese culture, it is considered an honor for the master to be imitated by their students. Therefore, they obviously think piracy is a nice gesture and copy rights are rude!!! It's not a bug, it's a feature 😂😂😂
They almost certainly do, if I had to guess, its a case manufacturer that has an 'in' with one of these companies. They get the iPhone shell CAD files for case production, so it wouldn't be unheard of for them to sell those.
Yea, especially since iOS is closed source unlike Android I don't think they'll be able to do anything better than just mod Android to look like iOS, especially since iOS is so locked in where you'd have issues even with swapping parts

These fakes are getting better day by day!! 🍐
