Heard about Apple and her devices. For example, about iPhones. These smartphones are distinguished by their quality and capabilities. These are unique and reliable devices worthy of attention. But such a device doesn’t cost that much. You'll have to spend money. Many people are interested in the country of origin of the iPhone. This is the only way to understand where Apple devices are actually made. This will help you avoid buying a fake.

Diversity of Opinions

In reality, answering the question at hand is not as simple as it seems. After all, today people have different opinions about where Apple gadgets are produced.

What opinions can you find? For example, some say that the iPhone manufacturer is Malaysia, while others claim that original Apple devices are produced in the USA. There are also those who claim that the gadgets under study are produced in Finland or Taiwan.

All these are misconceptions. Usually, ignorance of information about the country in which the gadget is manufactured leads to the fact that a person can easily be sold a counterfeit. This lack of awareness benefits fraudulent manufacturers. Next, we will talk about where the iPhone is actually created, and we will also figure out how to distinguish the original device from a fake one.

Project development

Apple is the main manufacturer of Apple phones and other devices. It is this organization that develops projects to create unique mobile products.

Apple is an American company. The headquarters of the organization is located in California, in the state of Cupertino. Here designers, programmers, advertising managers, economists and other workers are working on the development of new Apple devices.

Accordingly, the iPhone manufacturer is the USA. It would seem that everything is simple. In reality, understanding the topic being studied can be problematic. After all, developing gadget projects is only half the battle. Devices must be assembled, tested for functionality, and components must be produced. These functions are not always performed in one country.

Accessories

How to determine the manufacturer of an iPhone? It is necessary to learn as much as possible about who is developing, assembling, and testing these devices. In fact, everything is more complicated than it seems. As we have already found out, in the USA, Apple is inventing new projects to create its own branded devices. Where are their components made?

America does not have the capacity to produce its own components for iPhones. That's why they are made abroad. This technique allows Apple to save money. Components for Apple devices are produced in different countries Oh. Apple usually purchases components for its devices from Samsung, LG, Elpida and Hynix.

Apple's main cooperation is with Samsung. This company is located in Korea. It is responsible for the production of processors for phones and tablets. Therefore, we can call every iPhone a Korean assembly. More precisely, a Korean device. In addition, Apple has entered into a contract with LG. It is responsible for the production of LCD displays. "LG" is also located in Korea.

Device assembly

So, you already know that iPhones are made in the USA. This is why most often similar devices called an American creation. Only the components for them are often purchased in Korea, as we discussed above.

Apple devices are assembled outside the USA. More precisely, in Taiwan. This task is carried out by the large Taiwanese company Foxconn. This is the only base on which iPhones and iPads are assembled from ready-made components.

Foxconn currently cooperates with many modern large companies. For example, with Dell. And the organization entered into its first contract with Apple back in 2007.

It follows that every Taiwanese iPhone can be original. But Taiwan cannot be considered a manufacturing country for Apple gadgets. After all, such devices are just assembled here. The main work on development and creation mobile devices carried out in other countries of the world.

China and assembly

It is also worth paying attention to the fact that the Foxconn plant is located in China. The company is Taiwanese, but it is located in China. More precisely, on the border with Hong Kong, in Guadong province.

It is in this place that the Chinese assemble iPhones and other devices from Apple from ready-made components. It turns out that in general, Apple devices are produced in the USA, China, Taiwan and Korea.

Functionality check

Once the phones are assembled, they are sent for performance testing. But where exactly? iPhone manufacturer - USA. And all assembled devices will be tested for functionality exactly in the place where the projects were developed. There is nothing unclear about this.

About replacing components

Today, Apple offers all its customers special program recovery of faulty devices. Defective Apple phones are sent back to the manufacturer to be checked for functionality. Next, Apple either replaces the components and returns the device to the client, or sends him a new one. And the faulty gadget is reassembled and sent for sale, but with the appropriate marking.

IN in this case Several countries act as iPhone manufacturers. Exactly the same as in the previous situation. After all, the device is initially sent to the USA, to the Apple device development center. There, the organization's employees check the components, after which they transfer the gadgets to the Foxconn plant. On it, an iPhone is reassembled from ready-made components ordered in one country or another (most often in Korea). The device is then sent back to America. So rebuilt iPhones also have different manufacturers- USA, Korea and Taiwan.

Beware, fake!

Almost any modern popular technology is produced not only in the form of originals. It is often faked. Therefore, it is important to know who the iPhone manufacturer is.

Apple is a US owned company. And fake Apple devices are most often produced in China, Taiwan and Finland. And distinguishing them from original gadgets can be problematic. If a buyer sees "Made in China" on an iPhone, don't panic. After all, as we have already found out, some components of Apple devices are actually produced in China, and not in America. Therefore, you will have to take a good look at the phone. And only after that should we say that the product in front of the buyer is a fake.

Who is the manufacturer?

Quite often the iPhone says Assembled in China. However, every person should know who the real iPhone manufacturer is. It is also important to understand for which region a particular device is intended. After all, in operating systems There are some differences between Apple devices. They depend on the country for which the phone was originally intended.

How to find out the manufacturer of an iPhone? Need to look at back panel device, as well as on the box with the device. It indicates both the country of production and the region for which the product is intended.

You can turn on the device and open the menu "Settings" - "General" - "About device". Here you will have to visit the "Model" section. The last pair of letters in the number is the country of origin. This combination must match the inscription on the box with the smartphone.

Here are some signature options:

• RS - Russia;
• T - Italy;
• PR - Moldova, Russia;
• TA - Taiwan;
• LL - America;
• KS - Sweden, Finland;
• J - Japan;
• E - Mexico;
• CH - China;
• B - Ireland, UK.

In fact, everything is not as difficult as it seems. The main thing is to thoroughly understand the topic being studied.

Difference from fake

Which iPhone manufacturer is better? It is generally accepted that only original Apple phones are distinguished by their quality. Customer experience often confirms this fact. But there are also very high-quality fakes.

In any case, distinguish original iPhone The following features will help:

1. This Apple phone does not support additional memory.
2. Original Apple devices do not have the ability to work with multiple SIM cards.
3. The cost of a fake is often lower than that of a real Apple smartphone.
4. When connected real iPhone devices are synchronized to the PC via iTunes. In the case of fakes, the smartphone will not be recognized by the software.
5. If you try to open the AppStore, fake Apple devices will open Google Play. Original Apple devices do not support such a service.
6. The operating system of Apple smartphones is iOS. Counterfeits are most often controlled by the Android base.
7. Real phones from a company called Apple have no translation problems. No hieroglyphs, typos or errors. Their presence indicates a fake.
8. The original devices on the back panel have the following inscriptions: Assembled in China, Designed in California. The model number and certification mark will also be written here.
9. The back panel of a real Apple smartphone is not removable. In order to disconnect it, you will have to unscrew the production screws.

In addition, a counterfeit (most often Chinese) iPhone has USB charging or USB-mini, as well as a retractable antenna. Real iPhones do not have such components.

Having remembered all the listed principles and rules, everyone will be able to understand whether the phone in front of them is a fake or an original. A first generation iPhone or a newer device is not so important. The main thing is that the listed principles are relevant for all Apple smartphones.

Conclusion

We found out that the iPhone manufacturer is USA. This is where the development and testing of devices takes place. Components for Apple equipment are purchased abroad in different countries. For example, in Taiwan and Korea. And the phone is assembled in China.

In reality, everything is simpler than it seems. An iPhone from China is significantly different from original device. But sometimes Chinese fake works pretty well. But not everyone can see the difference between the original iPhone and a copy. Inexperienced user may not recognize a fake. But now it’s clear how to avoid such purchases. The main thing is to carefully consider the device you are purchasing.

To understand PCT models once and for all, we have collected the differences for all current iPhones in one place.

This means that all declared functions of the device will work in the country, and the device will be covered by the manufacturer’s official warranty.

So-called “gray” devices, which are imported from Europe or the USA, can either work fully or be unsuitable for some services. There may be problems with the warranty of such devices.

Before buying an iPhone from hand, in an online store and a specialized place where equipment is sold, you should always check the model of the device.

How to find out the model and country of origin of an iPhone

The model number is printed on the back cover of the device and on the box. Of course, the codes must match. Sellers usually do not hide this information.

To find out where specific model device, you should look at the box or find the data in the device itself along the way “Settings – General – About this device”. Information about the country is provided by the last two latin letters in your model code.
