How to determine if your iPhone is real or not

Check the hologram label on the back of the phone. If it has a serial number and Apple logo image embedded in it then the device is genuine!

I sure hope my iPhone is real for the amount of money I paid with Apple.

Who knows! I'm sure like any device, people are creating knockoff accessories and devices to get money. But it's not right!

I've seen some videos of iPhone knockoffs and every review was absolutely abysmal. If you have ever held a real iPhone you can tell the difference immediately. If the hardware isn't an immediate clue the crappy OS on the device should clue you in.

I just think back to the day I bought it from the Apple Store.

Awesome! I was really trying to figure out if my iPhone was legit.

If it has a whole Apple as a logo instead of the bitten one.

Uh oh! iBoss...you just delegitimized my iPhone! It has a bitten Apple!
