How to Check if an iPhone is Original Using the Serial Number – 2025 Guide for Ghana

Published: January 15, 2025 5 min read

In Ghana, iPhones are expensive, and the market is full of fake or counterfeit devices. Whether you bought a phone online or from a local seller, verifying its authenticity is crucial.

At Falaa Things, we help Ghanaians get genuine iPhones from trusted partners in the USA, UK, and Ghana. In this guide, we'll show you how to check if your iPhone is original using its serial number.


1 Find Your iPhone Serial Number

You can locate your iPhone's serial number in three ways:

  • Settings method:
    Settings → General → About → Serial Number
  • Box method: Check the back of your iPhone box for the serial number sticker
  • Computer method: Connect your iPhone to a computer and use iTunes to view the serial number

2 Verify Your iPhone on Apple's Official Website

Go to Apple's Check Coverage Page and enter your serial number. You will see:

  • Model information
  • Warranty status
  • Activation status

✅ If details match your device, your iPhone is authentic.

❌ If you get an error message or the information doesn't match, the iPhone might be fake, refurbished without disclosure, or stolen.


3 Inspect the Packaging

Apple packaging is high-quality, with no spelling errors. Check that the serial number on the box matches your device's serial number.

Look for these signs of authentic Apple packaging:

  • Crisp, high-quality printing with no blurry text
  • Perfectly aligned text and logos
  • No spelling or grammatical errors
  • Consistent font usage throughout
  • High-quality materials and construction

4 Look for Physical Signs

Beyond the serial number, examine the physical device for signs of authenticity:

  • Check the logo, buttons, and ports for quality and consistency
  • Test Face ID, Touch ID, and camera features
  • Check if the device runs official iOS updates
  • Examine the build quality - authentic iPhones have precise fitting parts
  • Check the weight - counterfeit iPhones are often lighter
  • Verify the screen quality - authentic iPhones have vibrant, sharp displays
