I have a question, I presented Iphone x to my wife, which has this text on the backside, when she compared her iPhone x to her colleagues iPhone x which do not have this texts, she saw the differences, I mean the camera and the colors, their Iphone were taking in different colors, and my wife's phone has different color, I guess the quality has also different. they set exactly same settings, even true tone settings of display, but the result was still same, the difference, I have checked if our phone was refurbished or smth like that, but seems like it is original and all the details (camera, battery, screen etc) are from factory. there was an software for that to check rather the phone has it's own original parts or some of them are changed. So does anybody know what's the reason for that?

There are differences between the US and the EU version.
For Instance, the gold color on the 6s in the US is deep gold whereas the gold color is slightly washed out in the EU version. Something like a champagne color.
The EU says CE whereas the US says FCC or better yet nothing at all but the UK version says CE.
The UAE version does not have facetime.

I currently have the XS Max Hong Kong version that says iPhone and an iPhone 8 UAE version that says CE Designed in California and assembled in china
 
I only have the apple logo on mine although it was not new when i got it few days ago. Is my iphone fake that is why it is not having the writing designed in California and assembled in China.

Having the text or not depends what country the phone was purchased in. The details are in the thread..
