Original vs. Replica. which one would you rather choose? what was difference between original vs replica? price? quality? sizes?
If someone told you that the iPhone which they brought is so cheap (fake) that it cost them half than the original, then do you know how to spot that iPhone if it is fake or not? The so called cheap iPhone might be a fake one or we can say well-crafted fake. Due to fake iPhone or other electronics items it is getting really hard for the original manufacturers. The US Customs and Border Protection said that the fake gear seized last year was worth $21 million. Now, if you really want to escape this fake web and protect yourself, first know how to spot fake gadgets before spending huge cash on fake products.
How to Identify Fake Gadgets:
• The top five most fake gadgets you will find are: MP3 players, portable memory, handheld game systems, cell phone, and laptop batteries, and portable hard drives. Is it small and popular? Then it’s ideal to fake.
• Always do some homework before you buy. Manufacturers release counterfeit alerts online. Often, they also list approved resellers and information about security tape or labels on packaging.
• If the product costs less than 80 percent of the manufacturer’s suggested retail price, you can almost guarantee it’s counterfeit.
• Of all the fakes US Customs seized last year, 81 percent were from China. Don’t buy products shipped directly from that country, and avoid seller Web sites written in poor English.
• Signs of a fake: Your gadget stops working inexplicably; the box has logos and graphics that look wrong or out of place; the manual desperately needs a proofreader.
• Always buy from trusted sellers.
• Examine your device before and during use before losing your receipt.
• Always examine your product at the developer’s website using its included serial number; if the number turns out to be incorrect, it may be fake.
