First, we recommend that you purchase mobile phones in a regular place. After all, the price of Apple mobile phones is so high. It is quite depressing to buy a mobile phone in a cottage, the following describes two methods to identify whether a mobile phone is a real iphone 5s or a fake iphone 5s. They are for your reference only!
1. Cameras and flashlights
The rear camera lens and flashlight of iPhone 5 are surrounded by metal circles, but the design has changed for iPhone 5S. It is not clear whether this is the consideration of pure design or the improvement of camera dust.
2. Bottom slots and screws
For iPhone 5, both black and white, the earphones at the bottom and the Lightning slots have relatively colored metal rings, silver and black respectively. These parts of the iPhone 5s are not like lenses and flashlights, and the metal ring continues to be retained. The silver and gold iPhone 5s metal circles are the same color as the body. However, the color of the space gray metal ring is no longer black, but the same as that of the silver version.
These two details may not be obvious at first glance, so if you are buying an iPhone 5s through other channels, you must polish your eyes and observe carefully to avoid being cheated by some bad traders.
Other methods
Appearance

First, if you get an apple for 5s, you must see its appearance. Because the appearance of Apple 5s is not much different from that of the previous generation of Apple 5, users who are not familiar with Apple mobile phones may be easily fooled by the bad guys. Many people know that Apple has a unique feature on 5s, namely fingerprint recognition. What can I see from the appearance of fingerprint recognition? That is, the Home key of the machine can be distinguished. We can see that the Home button of Apple 5s in the figure below has a metal ring and the button is flat, while the button of iPhone 5 is not metallic and concave.

In addition to the Home button, you can also see the difference in the back of the camera. The rear camera of Apple 5s is equipped with a dual flashlight, and the camera circle is slightly larger than that of iPhone 5. Please note that the flashlight marked in the figure below must be different from other Apple models.
Software

The above identification method is based on the appearance. Someone may ask, what should I do if I encounter a high imitation machine. The high imitation machine can be exactly the same as Apple's 5s shape, but it cannot do anything in the machine. Connect the machine with a computer installed with iTunes, and click the iPhone icon in the iTunes window. If iTunes on the computer cannot recognize the current mobile phone, you should be careful. It may be a cottage version.
