The replica device market has become a growing market all over the world. Whether Android or iOS compatible, fraudsters are trying to produce and sell replicas of almost every device. Of course, brands are also developing different methods to protect consumers and to easily separate devices. Apple did one of these in the iPhone 15 series. Here are the details…
Distinguish original products from the box: The hidden watermark on iPhone 15 boxes has been discovered!
If you are thinking of buying an iPhone 15 soon, order a UV light along with it. Because a hidden watermark was discovered on the boxes of the iPhone 15 series. Thanks to this watermark, you can understand whether the device is an original product or not, without even opening the box.
Scammers are trying to sell fake iPhones using device packaging that has been cloned down to serial numbers. Apple has added a new invisible watermark system to eliminate this practice. The new leak spread by a user on X was not noticed by anyone before. In the shared video, a user shows us the watermark on the iPhone 15 box using UV light.
Customers buying from major retailers will no longer have to worry about the authenticity of the devices. But the resale market and smaller sellers have more opportunities for fraud. For this reason, the exact problem experienced by the consumer continues. If you remember, when Apple ended the gelatin box era, some sellers turned all their open boxes into closed boxes with 2 stickers and sold them.
When in doubt, check the serial number of the device and make sure it matches the number on the box. Also look carefully at the box for any issues or manipulations that could indicate fraud. In other cases, you can prevent harm to others by contacting Apple.
