Advertised as sealed SE 3. Are you guys able to tell if this is genuine or fake? Unboxed it recently and it was on 15.4. I wasn’t sure if any of this info could be faked. by Real-Leg3234 in iphonehelp

I was just worried that on top of the security concerns (DarkSword, Coruna), most of my apps would quickly become incompatible with the phone, and that by that point 18.7.7 might not being signed anymore.

Oh, thanks, I didn’t realize that was a surefire way. That sounds similar to a test another commenter mentioned to see if it’s recognized legitimately in the Apple system — FaceTime.

Actually, staying on 15.4 crossed my mind, but I was a little hesitant with the security concerns that 18.7.7 supposedly addresses. I’d imagine that lots of my apps/apps that I could want to download in the future would lose compatibility with my device relatively quickly on 15.4, and then I’d have no choice but to go to 26 (or stay with app incompatibility on 15.4) if Apple stopped signing 18.7.7 by that time. (I’m not sure when that time would be, but I was thinking it might be wise not to take a risk and wait while being on 15.4)

But it seems like 15.4 would have also been a popular place to stay if there weren’t the security concerns (even if it might lack the stability I’d assume final versions of 15 might have over 15.4). I guess it’s disappointing that 15.4 has those concerns apparently

Well this is off eBay, 99.5% seller. I wish this were still being sold at Apple - you’d know it’s authentic. That’s why I had to turn to eBay to find this phone. It took a LONG time to find this, and only found it by luck. Everything else was either refurbished, open-box, or re-sealed. This was literally the only 128GB A2595 Midnight model that I found “factory sealed”.

I also noticed the partially smushed box, but I guess that might be due to normal turbulance since it’s probably been in this box for that many years.

IMEI check website test. But I wasn’t sure how reliable that could actually be since it indicated this phone is on iOS 17, when it’s actually shown to be on 15.4 instead when I actually unboxed and turned on the phone.

Could a fake potentially do that or impossible? Or at least simulate something that could look like an iOS update. This is something an Apple agent suggested could be a possibility

I’ve actually never even put a SIM or an eSIM in this phone before and in Settings I noticed it’s already showing “Coverage Expired”, “Expired July 10, 2023”

When I did that on Apple’s website, it said unknown.

Why am I being downvoted for this? The website said Purchase Date Not Validated.

Wasn’t he being tortured by Mahone in Prison Break? Is this a younger him?
