No replies. Let me fix that
I'm sorry to say this but the fake was better than the real in photos and and video recording
Yo better than my realme
where can one buy the fake iphone?
the fact that there is an entire factory throwing hundreds of thousands of dollars dedicated to making this is insane 🍐
Pretty insane
@@PhoneRepairGuru🤪
It doesn’t take thousands of dollars actually. The biggest cost involved in building these is getting the raw materials like the phone housing, the battery, the motherboard etc. even all of them combined it’s no more than 50-60 bucks. And mimicking the software is a piece of cake with an android skin. Any body with a little knowledge of OSs can easily make a 1-1 copy overnight.
@@its_arghoim not sure ”little” is enough thi
@@Boxofcare666 Trust me little is enough. It’s not like you have to build the entire OS from scratch. Android AOSP is free - all the core functionality like camera drivers, browser, display drivers etc everything is already built. All you need to do is change the theme. It’s as simple as changing a wallpaper. If you haven’t heard of Xiaomi, check them out. Their MIUI is based on android and looks like a copy of iOS. And it’s free! There is a theme store baked in MIUI, all you need to do is apply an iOS theme. You get everything, control center, icons, animations everything
When the fake iPhone makers take feedback more seriously than the real iPhone makers.
this is what happen when you actually need money
🍐
Lmao
At this rate give them 2-3 years and they will be making better phones than apple😂😂
@@suiboraiphone. made by foxcon sell like apple product pathetic loser company people belive in apple lies
“If I didn’t know it was fake, I probably wouldn’t know that it’s fake” Truest words he’s ever spoken 😂
Wow, am actually given this a go.... I love it and it's affordable for me. I give you kudos for that head to the point analysis.
Yeah same here. If anything I want one just to show everyone how good it is. Also cases are cheap for them since they fit the same as the real phone
These phones are getting better and better every year, they might accidentally start selling the real thing 🍐
For 1/3 of 🍎's price? That's a W in some one's book.
Still they can't make long lasting phone 🙂.
This iPhone 15 can't even lasting a year Fr 💀
😂😂😂👍
That would be cool though 😂😂 and funny
The issue with fake phones is that they cut on the specs, so obviously there isnt an A16 chip but neither a good android soc
Honestly I'd love to see these fake phone companies try making their own phone and see how they compare
It's called Xiaomi.
@@jonnynice8366 fair
day time they make local brands night time they make american "brands"
@@vanhuvanhuvese2738which american brand?none dont exist all is made in china's 💩
The issue is due to marketing, all these flagship phones have become status symbols more than anything else.
And these companies target the 70% of the global population who can't afford an original.
FYI - originals are OBVIOUSLY overpriced and targetted at the handful of "developed nations"
Loved the actual transparent iPhone, that coil looks awesome🍐
It’s pretty amazing seeing tear downs of fake iPhones as well as real ones! It truly is teaching me a lot about tech and is very inspiring !🍐
The fact that probably just a couple of software engineers re-coded the full UI of Iphone is insane
How much of it works is genuinely wild
to be fair I'm sure theres lot of shady shit going on and they probably had a leaked version and changed a few things or something
No they haven't recoded an entire OS, they just coded a good iPhone looking skin over Android OS which is the real workhorse under the hood.
he did not say OS , he said UI@@BillAnt
@@user-fw5gr6gn3z- Right, the OS is Android with an iPhone like UI.
I’m absolutely shocked by how well the fake one is made. Like who would’ve thought the action button would be legit 🍐
Looks good but I bet the longevity of this fake (especially the battery) would be poor compared to the real
To be honest it’s not a difficult thing to implement. It’s just a button.
@@CityWhisperer I really don't understand why people talks about it as if it were an incredible feat of engineering, adding a button to the side of the phone... To me the authentic challenge here is the OS, whoever turned android, visually, into an almost exact replica of the latest iOS version.
😂
In the video, it looks quite okay, but in reality, it looks very bad. Most fake products originate from China, where both counterfeit and genuine electronic products flood the market at considerably low prices.
Where did you get that because I want to get one for myself
Did you found it?
I want to buy too
Did you found it? I wanna get 1
DHgate
I’ve seen a store named superglx selling it on AliExpress they even have reviews of the phone
Great breakdown 🍐
Quote of the year - “If I didn’t know this was fake, I probably wouldn’t know if it was fake”
The fact they can get the fakes out this fast is scary 🍐
Well maybe it is because new iphones don’t differ too much😅😂
@@hkkf5431they do though. This was a complete change in processor / camera and the new action button. Crazy they cloned it
But what is so crazy about it? They probably produce fakes just 2 streets away from the "real" factory.
Like people are shocked by fake brand clothes. Like wtf do you mean, it's both made in Vietnam, just in a different basement. If that. Probably the same basement, different rooms.
I'm not comparing clothes with electronics, but the idea is the same.
Everyone is praising the iPhone and some other stuff as if it's like an artifact from another world. Yeah, maybe the chipset and cameras - that's advanced, but still is produced by Taiwan and China and is available to everyone else. Everything else in that phone is as simple as peanut.
🍐Always great informative vids... Thx for sharing!
I actually got alittle scared there till he took out the back glass 😂😂 🍐
I would’ve liked to have seen a speaker test, I upgraded to the 15 pro max from my 12 pro max and the difference is huge.

bro didnt even liked ur comment just want people commenting smh
well yeah it increases his influence in the algorithm@@lololol630
I work at a repair shop and very rarely do we see fake phones, the few I’ve seen were iPhone 14 Pro Max and an s22 ultra
I've been seeing alot of fake s23 ultra phones lately on fb market place and other local sites. Ppl are typically selling them for between 200 and 800 dollars on average.
how convenient you're in the same city I live in never thought id stumble upon another fellow :p
They are getting better and better. It’s really impressive!🍐
Your Videos have helped me so much identifying fake phones oder other electronics like Nintendo Switches. I was at the fake market in Shanghai 2 weeks ago and it was so funny to be able to tell if something was fake or not. But it being called the "fake market", it wasn't mind-blowing. 🍐
🍐
I like how the fake iPhone looks transparent, but the copper charging coil looks so nice to me so without it the fake can’t beat the real one 🍐
Oh man, that Batman sound (or to be more specific, Joker's) makes me wanna watch the Dark Knight 😅
So where can i buy one for testing use? / Sweden
Crazy how accurate these fakes are getting each year 🍐
I'm shocked, they're steadily improving too
there was a chine clone back in the iphone 4 era, that you could use original iPhone parts
@@PhoneRepairGuruits only a matter of time before we cant tell, right now we can still spot it but i worry for the future
buy samsung. its better than apple@@Allah_is1
@@PhoneRepairGuru how can they have a real IMEI from an actual iphone? can they be activated?
Damn that phone looks legit, i probably would have fallen for that if you didn't tell me about the black light, thanks for the tip. Keep it up! 🍐
This is insane, the dedication is mind blowing 🤯 🍐
The fake one didn’t come with the wall energy adaptor for recharging either. One more similarity! 😂
Wasn’t really in for the modded back glass but that was a clean look, without the wireless coil
Very clean for a fake🍐
Good1 Guru
It's crazy how the transparent backglass looks insane on the fake one, makes me feel that they should add it as a new color option🍐
Why you using pear emoji?
@AdamMoris-1w8dc it seems like the people using it get a heart from his channel.
Where can i buy this (to see for myself)?
Did you find the link?
Did you find it
@@jannajzerdid you find it?
So, if I was looking at buying a used one, without a box, what would be the easiest way of detecting a fake? Try to attach a magsafe charger?
Amazing how good & how quickly they did it, no doubt they hired a few employees from the Apple manufacturing facility as consultants on this project.
The fake back glass mod looks fire 🔥🔥🔥
Does the app store work? Icloud? Didn't notice in video if they showed it. Would be the best way to know if fake
🍐
Hey that was interesting. I knew about fake android phones and possibly older fake Apple phones, but not this new! amazing!
Wait, I didn’t know Phone Repair Guru is Canadian.. nice to see a Canadian Creator!
Damn dude, it gets interesting each year how they're pulling off eerily similar fakes. I still can't believe they pulled it off this good. Nice video, your videos are really entertaining! 🍐
Loved the video 🍐
The fact that even the OS looks and feels like real iOS blows my mind. If it's an Android, it looks really well customized.
The fact that it has a real action button really vexes me but amazes me at the same time 🍐
To be perfectly honest the action button is it's literally just a button
@@mortusmgSo true. It’s literally just a button you can reprogram to do different things. It’s so basic 😂
@@rawb3rt_393My friend who is long time Iphone user was very excited about this "innovative" peace of technology until I introduced him to almost every android phone that can use this function with some random ass app from play store 😂
Action bottom is very old tech bro in android world
@@mijingbasumatary3533unfortunately not on all androids.
The clear backglass of the fake one looks fire🍐
"If I didn't know that it was fake, I probably wouldn't know it was fake" lol
Love your vids 🍐
I really liked the transparent backglass on the fake! Awesome work!!! 🍐
If these guys wanted to make their own smartphones, with a unique design I think they would make a pretty decent budget or midranger🍐
Nah because the competition is so much among Android phones already
Love the transparent backglass🍐
I couldnt find a link for this phone in your video. I would love to pick one up for myself.
Why ?? 🤷♀
You're not the only one surprised about the speed at which this came out, thank good all my family members either into tech so they know how to tell the fakes or to skeptic to buy from anywhere but the official store🍐
I regard myself as a person with technical skills and would not recognize it as a fake. I would probably get suspicious only once the FaceID failed. But it is possible, that they recreated the FaceID setup so it might get unnoticed - and later they could simply go with 2D face recognition, which would more or less work.
Thats crazy, I didn’t expect it to get that good, i cant imagine how the 16 will look as a fake 🍐
You know what, despite being a very close fake phone, they really did a good job showing us how cheap the original phone manufacturing cost, and how much big company grind off our wallet
keep up the good work!🍐
@phonerepairguru
Would you be able to provide more inforamation about its software:
- What operating system does it run?
- Does it receive any system software updates?
- Does it have any operational AppStore for installing additional apps?
Thank you 😀
Android, typically either android 6, 7 or even 10 if it has a decent cpu.
No, no fake will get updates.
It should have access to any store a normal android phone has, as long as it has google play services, otherwise you can download apps from a lot of websites.
That is very interesting. It is really sad that people take advantage of people who may not know the key differences between fake and real products. Thanks for continuing shedding a light on this! 🍐
What’s sad is apple making barely better devices in sweat factories and selling them for $1,100 more. I have a 15pm, it’s a good phone but not $1,300 good.
This is actually insane🍐
You live in Ottawa 😯 Saw the Canadian Parliament 🇨🇦 🍁 😎💯
I remember the fake iPhone 5s ones that just ran android with a launcher skin. These have came a long way 🍐
Love your content and dedication for these fake phone videos and all of your videos overall🍐
it even takes lot of sskills... to even make a clone...its not a joke... years back I had a clone nokia N8... and at that time it was one of the best phones... loved it..
@PhoneRepairGuru is the best buy at Scarborough?
Shockingly scary how close this fake phone is to the real thing, this is a concerning as there are lots of people, particularly the elderly, who won’t be able to tell the difference between real and fake. Great video as always! 🍐
They will sell these like a hot cake in Africa and Latin America, who will know if your phone is fake while you use as a phone or taking pictures??? I am glad they do it, what else you expect if you move your factories in China. 🥰
The elderly, lol .
I suspect that this phone isn’t even a scam, many people in China buy things knowing full well that they’re fake, manufacturers sometimes even straight up tell you it’s an imitation. A lot of people are poor and iPhones are a status symbol, while others just like the look of the phone but don’t really care about specs.
If the fale iPhone works just as well as a real one, does it matter if it's fake,m
@@mujtabaalam5907 actually it does. And it only comes fairly close. He made no mention that the storage and ram are often 10 times less than what the real phone has on fake phones, even if the phone reports the proper ammount on the settings(software trick) also speaking about software a fake apple phone will have android on it disguised as apple os, so at that point it's not even close to being similar. Also on fake apple phones the display panel & camera are junk in quality and color reproduction compared to a real apple phone.
In short it really does matter. Oh one more thing about fake phones, they load spy scam and phishing software on them right at the factory, no need to accidentally download these yourself.
This... Is actually amazing. If you have a child who wants an iPhone, kids likely wouldn't know. But I can't believe how well they did.
Just gotta get rid of those spicy pictures 😬
US kids will know, because of the blue bubble thing
@@MethLord I mean if they didn't really look into it in depth, it likely would fool many of them. I mean until they play a game on it, I'd have liked to see him compare its performance too.
@@SWISS-1337also no Apple Store lol
Dang, these companies are really getting better every year at making these phones! 🍐
Should've done a benchmark test to get an idea of what low end chip set they used on the fake
It’s legitimately crazy how similar the fakes and real phones are getting definitely scary when blowing that much money on one🍐
I bet some companies do these for the experience and money before going on to making their own phones
The action button is the SIMPLEST thing to code out of everything. The settings menu and the IMEI are 10000x harder to do
where did u buy that iphone 15 pro max at the link pls i am doing a video about it on my other channel
Holy cow I wonder if I could use an actual iPhone 15 pro case on this baby??
The microphone on the fake one sounds better for me, that's cool 🍐
Don’t be silly 🤪
I'm actually impressed to see how far these smartphone clones have come.
Would be useful to have more side by side comparisons.
Insanely nice video🍐❤
Stumbled upon your video and I’m genuinely impressed by the level of detail on the fake iPhone 15 Pro Max! It’s alarming and fascinating at the same time how these replicas are mimicking the real deal so closely. Your content is a great resource for staying informed and outsmarting these scams. Cheers for the heads-up and for keeping us tech enthusiasts on our toes! 🍐
Alarming that phones cost up to 1500+

@@fernandomancha9238 I will, would you do the same if you find it please? 🤗
Scary how accurate these fakes have gotten in a short time 🍐
I am convinced that, as is often the case, our Chinese friends somehow managed to get their hands on the CAD files for the iPhone 15 housing. Otherwise, achieving such remarkable precision in replication would be implausible. The remaining features seem relatively easy to emulate from a software standpoint. I remember an interview many years ago with a German manager from Transrapid team, discussing the relocation of research&production from Germany to China. He described how Chinese individuals, discreetly "working" after hours, navigated through the production halls and offices with flashlights, meticulously copying all the technological details. A few years later, China proudly unveiled the world's first officially recognized magnetic train connection. I've heard that in Chinese culture, it is considered an honor for the master to be imitated by their students. Therefore, they obviously think piracy is a nice gesture and copy rights are rude!!! It's not a bug, it's a feature 😂😂😂
They almost certainly do, if I had to guess, its a case manufacturer that has an 'in' with one of these companies. They get the iPhone shell CAD files for case production, so it wouldn't be unheard of for them to sell those.
s the expression goes.... "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery". ;)
You do business in China and your IP is forfeit. Apple know this, but I guess profits from cheap ass labour outweigh IP loss.
Now imagine if they actually put this amount of work into making their own brand phone
You should have seen if the app store had apps that are only on iOS and compared those apps
Actually it looks pretty decent for the price, I’m sure if they want they can release iPhone 16 sooner than Apple itself 😂
🍐
😂😂😂
I also feel the same, the back glass looks insanely awesome on the fake iPhone 🍐
The fact that they can make it with CPU GPU and great camera software and also an OLED display with less than 400$ I would buy it for sure
Buy iPhone 12
This is fire! 🍐
Wow, honestly this turned out better that i expected. Btw transparent backglass looks fire too, good job:) 🍐
That fake iPhone 15 Pro Max look amazing.... scary amazing. I LOVE the transparent back once you peeled off the paint. I think Apple could hit a Home Run if they offered that as an option. Just my opinion. Great job. Both you and whoever made this Clone. My goodness. 📱
crapple can sell dog shit with apple logo and dumb customers will buy it
The cameras are still a good way to check. I wonder if they'll ever have more than one crappy lens though
I have that back tap screenshot feature on my real iphone 11 pro
Each year they get pretty convincing hardware wise
But i doubt they will ever get close to mimicking the software
Nice video btw keep it up🍐
Yea, especially since iOS is closed source unlike Android I don't think they'll be able to do anything better than just mod Android to look like iOS, especially since iOS is so locked in where you'd have issues even with swapping parts
I think you got it backwards
The ios skin is pretty good
But the guts will still be some shitty mediatek chip with ram/rom from 2012 or so
@@ashwingeorgemathewwith some pretty clever bios emulation one may be able to run iOS on an Android phone

@@arjix8738I honestly prefer android over IOS anyways.
@@ducmhngI imagine someone might be able to open up the phone and replace the chip with a modern snapdragon one. I wonder if that’s even possible.
