With the rise of fake and refurbished iPhones in Pakistan’s grey market, it's more important than ever to know how to verify if your iPhone is original. At AppleMan, we guarantee that every iPhone you buy from us is 100% genuine, PTA-approved, and factory-sealed in authentic Apple packaging—but if you’re buying elsewhere, here’s how to check:
1. Check the IMEI on Apple’s Website
Every iPhone has a unique IMEI number. Dial *#06# or go to Settings > General > About to find it. Then visit checkcoverage.apple.com and enter the serial or IMEI. If it shows active Apple coverage, the phone is original.
2. Confirm PTA Approval
In Pakistan, your iPhone must be PTA-approved to work legally. Visit dirbs.pta.gov.pk and enter the IMEI to confirm status. AppleMan only sells PTA-registered phones, so you're safe from service blocking or fines.
3. Inspect Packaging and Build Quality
Real iPhones come in sealed Apple boxes with accessories and proper labeling (model, IMEI, color, etc.). The build is sleek, with perfect finish and responsive buttons. At AppleMan, we guarantee authentic box-packed iPhones, not refurbished or repacked units.
4. Look for iOS (Not Android Clones)
Fake iPhones may look real but run Android with an iOS-style skin. Go to Settings > General > Software Version—only real iPhones show iOS. If features like FaceTime or iMessage are missing, it’s likely a clone.
