How to identify and distinguish the growth of an iPhone or iPad

Many buyers of Apple products often have the question “How to determine if the iPad / iPhone you are buying is growth or not?”. Today we will try to answer this question once and for all. In fact, everything is very simple and easy.

So, in order to determine the growth test (PCT) whether our phone or tablet, you need to take a few simple steps. Let's look at the product first using the iPhone as an example, and then using the iPad as an example.

As you know, all Apple products come in beautiful sealed boxes. Such a box looks like this, in this case iPhone 4S:

The iPad 2 box looks like this:

First and most importantly, an iPhone officially imported into Russia must have a guarantee from a cellular retailer. At the moment, only Beeline and MTS are importing to Russia. That is why the kit should have such a warranty card:

Second, but no less important: sometimes there may be no warranty card, but this does not mean that the phone is illegal and not growth. Then you just need to look at the back of the phone box. There must be inscriptions in Russian, necessarily (!), And Part no. must have a country identifier RR. For a closer look, let's take a closer look:

At the top of the photo, you can just see a sticker in Russian, and approximately you can clearly see MC604RR, where RR is an identifier in Russia, meaning that the phone was intended specifically for our country.

In the case of the iPad and iPad 2, everything is somewhat simpler - for the most part it does not matter where it is imported from, since it simply cannot be blocked. However, all the points discussed above also apply to the iPad in the same way. Except for the fact that the list of official Russian retailers is much higher, there are also MediaMarkt and M.Video and many other retail chains.

We hope the material was useful to you, you can distinguish the growth of the iPhone from the growth without any problems.
