Korean symbols on the back panel of my iphone. Anyone have this type of iphone?

[Raufello]

Hello so i bought a new iphone 4s and apparently it is korean(sim free) original, already jailbroke it. But i was wondering if they make different models for different regions. Mine is korean and the only logo except apple, on the back is IC.
It works great, just as a normal iphone. I bought it brand new the package was sealed. I just wonder if the back panel is fake or something.. Thanks for help.

Are you able to post a photo?

Take a picture.

It's probably the logo of the Ministry of Information and Technology or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korea_Communications_Commission. Like the US iPhone has the FCC logo on the back and all other sorts of regulatory signs. The Korean iPhone has its own regulatory logos on the back.

The iPhone is the same hardware though as the US.

I attached 3 pictures so that you can see what I'm talking about. Any help would be useful.

Check the box to see if it has anything about Korea on it.

You did buy this 2nd hand or from a 3rd party retailer right?

I bought the phone from a 3rd party store from which ive been buying phones since elementary school. My parents also purchase iphone 4s, they have the normal logos on the back panel. I called the store and they told me that this phone is asian sim free. And it is brand new.

From looking at the picture of the back panel, the model # is A1387. Don't know what IC stands for, but since that phone was made for Korean market it most likely is related to standards for Korea. My iPhone 4 has FCC, CE, etc written on the back. Don't think it's fake.

Edit: found it. It's KC, not IC and it stands for Korea Certification.

Thanks man, I was really worried about my iphone for the last couple days, but finally someone helped me out.
So it has a Korean Certification, but is it still made in Foxconn? Because on the back of my iphone, it doesn't say anything about China, as it does on other iphones.

Yes it does say China. 중국 = China.

Yes, that's a Korean iPhone. The regulatory marks differ depending on the carrier you buy it from, at least with Android phones. I bought mine from SKTelecom.

I don't know why you've got "KC" and English on your phone. That's weird. All the markings on the back, like Manufacturer and Country of Origin are the same, though.

I got my iPhone 5 last week from bangkok and it has somthing similar too.

I guess, it was made in Korea only.

ANyways, is there anything, I should be worried about ?

Would I be able to update and restore to any iOS version, I need without getting worried about its unlock status ?
