The recently launched iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro boxes contain a watermark and QR code that can only be seen under ultraviolet light . In this way, customers can understand whether the device they will purchase is original or not . In fact, it might be more accurate to say that they could understand it, because the Chinese learned to fake it, too .
They copied it immediately
Underhanded factories in China have already started producing fake labels with a new security mechanism for iPhone 15 boxes . The published images show that the tearable seals found on the original packaging have been successfully copied.
The labels in question have a hidden watermark containing the model name and Data Matrix code. It only took a week for fraudsters to fake these labels . Therefore, consumers will now need to be more careful when purchasing the iPhone 15 outside official channels and review the product carefully to see if it is fake or not.
