How to Check if an iPhone Is Original

When buying a pre-owned iPhone, the most important thing is to make sure it is an authentic Apple device and not a clone. Here are a few simple steps:

1. IMEI and Serial Number

Dial *#06# to display the IMEI. Then compare it to the number in Settings → General → About. Both numbers must match.

2. Check on Apple's Website

• Visit checkcoverage.apple.com and enter the serial number.
• If the model details and warranty status show up, the device is genuine.

3. Visual Signs

• Original iOS runs smoothly and comes with the App Store (not the Google Play Store).
• The Apple logo, hardware buttons, and materials should look and feel high-quality.

At US MOBI, every device is already thoroughly inspected — but you can always double-check it yourself.
