How does someone tell if they have one of the fake phones ?
I have an android based phone so it doesn't concern me but I am just curious.
Not sure. And if it is working, like, who cares? right? I've actually bought a refurbished item before that works great.
However, if you have ever gone on ebay . . . you see all the sellers from Asia. I'm very skeptical already. and have been ripped off three times (ebay helped me out . . . in all but one case and I lost 15 dollars, I'll live). Ii no longer order anything that is a seller from Asia. (if you have kids that do gaming and you need remotes and things like that, you'll know why I shop on ebay to supply these items . . . ).
So, I am sure it is Apple that is most angry about things like this.
As long as people are willing to settle for 'just as good' someone will come up with a fake. This isn't so bad if it's just a cellphone that might catch fire in your pocket, but I'd prefer not to eat fake food.

Ever wonder why, even though Monsanto is killing all our bees, you can still get 'honey' at the store? Chances are you've been consuming artificial sweeteners, lactose, or corn syrup from China.
Oh gee desrt, that sounds delicious. NOT. We buy our honey local where I am sure it is made by living bees!
Is anyone ever going to stop Monsanto?
I would personally hate to catch my pants on fire but that is better than my ear while I'm talking on the phony apple.
I buy razor blades on eBay and I can tell you some seller sell fake Gilette Fusion Blades. The packaging is perfect but the blades aren't. Now i only buy from 2 sellers.
