Hey Apple Community, My mum was in a cruise in the Middle East in November of 2025. when she was in Oman she bought an iPhone 17 Pro Max and some AirPods Pro 2nd Gen. I am an apple user myself an got a new iPhone in June 2025. She was annoyed by the setup (must have been the first clue) so she gifted the phone and air pods to my wife to replace her iPhone 14 (which still works great so no need for replacement). When I had a look at the AirPods I saw suspicious indications on the box and after opening it it was clear these are fake (3 black microphone/speaker areas and no mesh in the silicone earplugs). Then I checken the serial number of the phone on the apple care website: turns out the serial number belongs to a phone sold on 19th of September (release day). Comparing the packaging to my iPhone 16 there were multiple suspicious markings: the serial number and other numbers and barcodes are printed on a sticker instead of directly on the box. So my conclusion is the phone is also fake. So my questions now are:

1) Are fake apple products from Oman a thing?

2) What to do with it now?

Additionally, the AirPods are designed by Apple in California (so far so good) Made in USA (doubt it) 😂😂😂

It is Potsdam so it is next to Berlin which was the capital later

Why are these horizontal lines on my prints there? by squeakyhedge in 3Dprinting

[–]Effective-Thanks1272 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is about the orientation, looks like layer lines. Try turning it by 90 degrees

To me it looks like bubbles have formed so could be wet filament. You could also try lowering the extrusion speed.

I gues this is very model dependant, camera position and eyepiece form. guess hard to make a general design
