your correct, apple doesnt make a peice of HW on their own

iphones, ipods and itouches are made by Hon Hai in Shenzhen China.

guess where counterfeit pods are made? OH THE SAME PLACE!! probably next door.

i dont think Hon Hai is the creator of counterfit iphones, if they were apple would probably not be doing bussiness with a company that is trying to sell fake iphones.

I believe it means that you're out of the initial 90 day telephone coverage, but still within the 1 year of hardware coverage through the Genius Bar and AppleCare.

Thanx a lot!! :D

I don't know anything personally about that website, but if it seems too good to be true ... It probably is. At the same time, I don't know your tax/tariff laws and couldn't tell you if you have to pay extra money. Sorry.

Hi I'm from Trinidad and I recently found a website named Computer store the best shop on the web. I'm interested in purchasing a 64gb apple iPhone 5, the price for it is $350.00, and its being shipped from china, is it possible that this is an original phone? Please help

It is fake or stolen. 64GB iPhone costs $850 in the US, plus taxes. No one who has a legitimate unit would want to sell it for $350 (which is 60% off the retail price) unless it is fake or stolen.

Either way, if you are going to be greedy and accept a deal that is too good to be true you will just lose your money and I don't think anyone here will feel sorry for you because if you think you can buy an $850 phone for $350 you are obviously a sucker.

Um thanks Greg ... Was just asking
 
one easy way to tell if its fake is if the iphone is black or space grey when you turn it on the screen is black and the apple logo is white. same for the white iphones. the background when powered on should be white with a black apple logo

They all come from factories in China. But from the looks of it, he's not ordering from the factory. :p Even though the majority of any product is manufactured in China, the country still holds like the most number of fake products as well.

[doublepost=1543956785][/doublepost]Wussup I was doing some research on these phones. It seems Italy had no choice but to have more authentic parts on the iPhone if not the whole thing is real. No android nothing. I'm going to buy a xr from this Italy site online. I trust them more than China.

Do you realize you responded to a post that’s 10 years old? The poster hasn’t been active on the forum for over 8 years...

Keep in mind if buying from a reseller sumbag on fleaBay some or all of the phone may be fake, even if part real some parts are fake, or salvage from stolen/blacklisted phones. Buyer beware!
