Onishi Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Hi. I've won the iPhone 2G 8G in an auction. Tomorrow i'm going to receive it. So how to check it's originality without internet ? I'm afraid scamers. Thanks a lot. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/143638-iphone-from-an-auction-how-to-check-its-originality/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

dopeyo Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 I would take it down to the Apple store and ask them to take a look. Act dumb and ask "Will I have any trouble getting service with this phone?" Don't live in a country with Apple stores? Someone in your neighborhood must have an Iphone, show it to them. You could also poke around on the menus, there must be something like "About this Mac". If it says it's manufactured by Nokia or Motorola or Shanghai Telecom, I'd send it back and demand a refund. But if it says "Genuine Hackintosh" I'd hold on to it.

nate256 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 You would be able to tell by using it for awhile, and also check to see if it has the iTunes store. Thats a big give away!
