yo.
Heres a few tips if your looking to change your black ip4 to a white one.
After changing mine thru a store that got them directly i learnt abit about the different quality.
1st. the real ones will either come with a full black protection cover shield or black protecting the apple logo and the iphone text on the back. As they are made on ghost production runs in the factory and these covers make sure the people making them can smuggle them out.
2. the real ones atm will have a bump feeling from between the glass and the plastic rim around the back and front, this is due to less glue being used on them.
3. the real one will have all the back parts, camera lens, diffuser, and the antenna flex, it should also have a tight fit like an older nokia express on cover, and no barcodes/QR codes as they arnt scanned in to physical stock as they shouldnt actually exist.
4. is this is the most import comparison. as ive used a 230 lumen led torch thru the glass and this is what happens with a fake/OEM one.

and this a genuine one

5. and this is the final the actual paint on the back is different as the fake/OEM is a lighter dull blue
![]()
and the genuine one is slightly darker

but currently all the sellers are trying to cash in on the demand of the white parts, theres really no way to tell unless you buy the most expensive and hope you get what you want
and finally heres just another pic of mine
