How to tell if Apple is an assembly machine

In recent years, with the prosperity of the second-hand mobile phone market, the problem of Apple mobile phone assembly machines has also attracted much attention. Assembled phones refer to mobile phones that are assembled from parts from different sources through unofficial channels. Such mobile phones often have quality hazards and after-sales risks. So, how to tell whether an Apple mobile phone is an assembled machine? This article will analyze it for you from multiple angles.

1. Check the appearance and accessories of the mobile phone

There are often some flaws in the appearance of the assembled machine, such as uneven seams between the screen and the frame, offset camera positions, etc. In addition, the original parts may have fine workmanship, while the parts from the assembled machine may be rough.

2. Verify the system information

The serial number and IMEI code of an Apple mobile phone are important identifiers. You can verify this by following these steps:

1. Open "Settings" > "General" > "About this Mac" and check the serial number and IMEI code.
2. Log in to Apple’s official websiteWarranty status inquiry page, enter the serial number for verification.
3. If it says "Unable to Verify" or the information doesn't match, it's probably an assembly machine.

3. Hardware detection

The assembly machine's hardware may have incompatibilities or performance issues. You can detect it by:

• Use third-party tools (such as Aisi Assistant and Hourglass Tester) to detect hardware information.
• Check the health of the battery, whether the screen is original, and whether the camera supports original functions.

4. Purchase channels and prices

Assembled machines are usually sold through unofficial channels at prices well below market prices. If you come across an iPhone at an unusually low price, be wary.

5. Summary

Identifying whether an Apple phone is an assembled phone requires comprehensive information from various aspects, including appearance, system verification, hardware testing, and purchasing channels.
