How to distinguish the official flip of Apple iPhone

Ways to distinguish an iPhone:

First, unpacking. The brand new iPhone can smell a very faint sandalwood scent after unboxing, while the refurbished iPhone has the smell of chemical agents. In addition, after we open the box, we should pay attention to whether the accessories of the machine are complete.

Second, check the details of the machine.

Check whether the earphone jack is scratched or plugged in.

Check the back lens of the machine for wear.

Check whether the data interface has been plugged into the data cable and whether the screws have been screwed.

There will be the IMEI of the machine on the SIM card tray of the iPhone, after the user can write down the IMEI, turn on the machine and enter it in the **dial interface*, check whether the machine and the SIM card tray and the IMEI on the back of the box are consistent.

3. Start-up identification.

The new iPhone will not directly enter the system after booting, but can only enter the system after a series of settings, which can preliminarily determine that the machine has not been activated. If the mobile phone purchased by the user is turned on and directly enters the system, then the machine must not be a brand new machine.

Connect the device to the computer to open the sync assistant, and you can check the purchase date and expiration date in the device details details.

Once your device is connected to the internet, turn it on.

Enter the IMEI of the device to query. The time shown in the repair and service warranty minus one year is the time of activation.

Use the Apple serial number to check the activation status and expiration time.

1. First of all, you can check the serial number of your iPhone by going to Settings - General - About This Mac. Then, go to the XY Apple Assistant Apple Tools Center (

You can look up the serial number.

3. Unactivated mobile phone: When querying the Apple serial number, it will display "Device is not activated. This indicates that the machine is new and has not been used.

4. Out-of-warranty time: Tell us when the activation time of this device is, because the general out-of-warranty time is calculated one year forward is the activation time of the device, except for the purchase of extended warranty equipment. Apple's servers will upload the activation information to the server database when activating the device, and calculate the out-of-warranty time.

5. There is also a status of "this is the serial number of the replaced product", which means that the serial number of this equipment has been cancelled, that is, it has been replaced.

The official flip machine is a second-hand mobile phone used by others, Apple's low price**, and then Foxconn.

Apple foundry) is responsible for replacing some of the original components, without affecting the use of functions, and put them on the market again**, which is relatively cheap.

As for what's bad, it's mainly about the appearance, and the appearance is generally not replaced, such as scratches on the back cover of the screen, and broken marks on the bezel. In addition, some of the originals have a slightly longer service life (but they do not affect normal use after official testing).

Unscrupulous profiteers use the old mobile phones they have collected at a low price, clean the motherboard, replace parts, etc., repackage them, disguise them as "new phones" and resell them. The advantages of the "refurbished machine" often impress many people, but the quality of the "refurbished machine" is not up to par, and some of the functions are missing.

Therefore, it depends on people's luck to buy an official overturn, some people can buy ninety percent of the new appearance, and some can't bear to look at it directly.

2) The defective modules found in the test are refurbished with replacement parts.

3) The model is more special, it starts with F, such as the Hong Kong version of the official iPhone 5, 16GB black: FD298ZP A; 16GB White: FD298ZP A; 32GB Black:

fd299zp/a;32GB white: FD300ZP A, pay special attention to it, in some cases, the model on the box starts with F, and the model in the machine starts with N, because the model of the replacement machine starts with N, it will be mistaken by some buyers as a replacement machine, and the combination of DQG plus N also conforms to the judgment method of the replacement machine. You can only rely on the warranty length to determine the replacement or the official overturned, as mentioned earlier, the warranty of the replacement machine for Hong Kong is a continuation of the previous one, usually from the production time to the warranty deadline of less than one year, and the warranty calculation method of the official flip machine is the same as that of the retail machine, there is a 365-day warranty after activation, so the full warranty is the official flip machine.

For the case that the box and the machine model are different, the answer given by the Apple 400 customer service is because the batch is different.
