  • So, I received this box--it looks like an iPhone, you take a glance around here, iPhone 6s, the back looks the same.

  • I mean it looks like an iPhone. But it ain't an iPhone.

  • This my friends is a high quality, high caliber Chinese iPhone knock off.

  • Lets go ahead and find out what the differences are!

  • Maybe there are none, maybe they'll fool me, completely.

  • Maybe we should all be using it now, I highly doubt it.

  • So, the first thing, being a guy who has unboxed a number of iPhones.

  • The first thing that'll tip you off that you got a fake is this little bag here.

  • This tray, they have something similar to that. Lets look at the-- Oooh!

  • The device actually-- wow that's a pretty good fake.

  • Here's a real one, and here's a fake one.

  • Whoaa!

  • Okay, another thing I notice is where the front facing camera is.

  • It's a little bit more pronounced on the knock off, and also, oh the writing here.

  • There's few more FCC, do not dispose type logos there.

  • But otherwise, MAN, Okay, You can-- that's another spot.

  • So on the real iPhone you have got this type of cut out. On this one, you have a line almost drawn into the aluminum.

  • Also, is it a little bit lighter?

  • That area there is pretty much identical.

  • And this area here is pretty much...

  • That is-

  • That's amazing.

  • There's a ridge here.

  • You can kinda feel it with your finger.

  • That doesn't exist, it's much more smooth on the real deal.

  • I don't know man.

  • To... to the untrained individual, that baby might pass!

  • Wow!

  • Chinese writing there, a bit of a giveaway.

  • Lightning cable TWO!

  • A European plug and then some ear pods.

  • Oh my.

  • A little bit slower.

  • The display is a bit of a giveaway as well.

  • Much more dim but look at this now this thing is obviously running some kind of android right but, it's skinned with this iOS look alike.

  • There's the settings menu, the font is a little bit off when I use the ringer on this one, that's what it looks like.

  • On this one, slightly different.

  • Something tells me the camera image quality is not going to be as good.

  • Okay there's one off the fake iPhone, real iPhone. Yeah, that's another giveaway; image quality on the camera.

  • I mean what happens if you go to the iTunes Store here?

  • *Laughing*

  • The iTunes Store takes you to Spotify!

  • Ok that's a bit of another giveaway, but let's be honest man if someone's trying to swindle somebody on Craigslist or something and they don't go in and check everything.

  • What about FaceTime? Does that bring me to Skype or something?

  • Oh, just the dialer.

  • There's a little vibration as well that's prominent on the fake unit.

  • Ok let's do a little video/speaker test here.

  • Okay.

  • *Laughing*

  • Knockoff sounds like a knockoff!

  • It's true, it's true.

  • Regular iPhone selfie time versus -- definitely not of the same caliber.

  • Here are my rules, real vs. fake.

  • The screen should be bright and vibrant, this one's a little bit washed out.

  • Check the camera; the quality should be obvious.

  • Check the app store, the fake one will take you to Google Play and of course the iTunes Store, which takes you to Spotify.

  • Don't be fooled by that either. But otherwise, they might have you fooled.

  • Don't send your grandma to buy an iPhone off of Craigslist.

  • She might come back with a fake one.

So, I received this box--it looks like an iPhone, you take a glance around here, iPhone 6s, the back looks the same.
