How can you tell if your APPLE IPHONE is authentic or knock off?

[elect1]

Hi,
As we all know that there are alot of knock off iphones from china, now how can you spot the differnce between the real one and the knock off iphone? coz I'm expecting an Iphone and I got it in ebay..
Thanx so much...

why didn't you pick it up from the apple store?

The chinese knockoff looks significantly different than the apple iphone. There's no chance at confusing the two side be side.

Ebay iPhone sellers are trying to dump as many unlocked phones as they can before the software upgrade later this week is sent out, because there is a very good chance that once you upgrade your software your phone will no longer work.

Good luck...
