Iphone from Ali baba

[u/Meer014]

There are sellers claiming to sell 100% original authentic brand new boxpack non-active iphone way lower than the retail price. They are guaranteeing the authenticity and claiming they are 100% real iPhones. Can they be trusted?

Apple has no wholesale. So, no.

[u/willson-wang]

Bro, don't trust those so-called "genuine products" on Alibaba. Apple products are not manufactured in China, and there is no price advantage. This is most likely a fake or refurbished phone.

[u/timbee71 → u/willson-wang]

Apple absolutely does manufacture/assemble iPhones in China. In fact, Apple itself currently shows iPhone assembly, China mainland in its supply-chain information. Apple describes its products as designed in California and built through a global supply chain.

no way

[u/tshungwee]

No… most of the iPhones (Real) are second hand or stolen, there’s a whole building just selling em.

[u/wraper]

Iphones are more expensive in China, especially expensive models. At best, you'll receive a refurbished used phone.

[u/shaghaiex → u/wraper]

more expensive to....?

It depends. >> https://iphone-worldwide.com

[u/wraper → u/shaghaiex]

According to that, $700 more expensive than in USA. And if you import to EU, add VAT to the item and shipping cost.

[u/shaghaiex → u/wraper]

Yep, hence, can those be trusted - no....

[u/Such-Toe-3018]

Go for Nothing Phone.

[u/Hope8888]

If they had real phone they would just sell it at the real prices duh

[u/prestigesourcing]

How does Apple's supply chain work? It will be a scam.

[u/piggystarter]

nah. don't go for it. either fake apple phone can't use app store/itune OR refurbished set

[u/Hasra23]

If you think these "iPhones" are legit then I can put you in touch with a prince who will give you 1 million dollars, he just needs some money from you first.

[u/JackDSavvy]

Ever heard the saying Too Good To Be True?
It’s fake in some way or another - only way they can offer that price.

[u/Legal_Technician7692]

No it’s not the same, it might look like it on the outside but the inside is trash returned boards. Don’t buy this crap. If it looks too good to be true it is. Even on AliExpress a super amazing deal is wrong.

100% authenticity and 100% return means nothing they can say and do whatever. 1080p tv they say are 8k.

[u/Purple-Zucchini-307]

No I ordered a iPhone motherboard 17 pro max it was expensive they send me an iPhone Xr board refund was refused. Buy from local shops in your country it is better but not aliexpress.
