Posted by While it might be easy for the avid smartphone enthusiast to spot a fake iPhone 6 from the genuine thing, it isn’t so easy for others. We have a few pics shared by someone on Twitter. Apparently, someone made a purchase that turned out to be fake.
Photos of a fake iPhone 6
First up, so here is the iPhone 6 booting:
That looks like the authentic thing; right? So far, so good. Of course, if you look closer, the design elements are a bit different.
Once booted though, what you see an Android-style lock screen and matching wallpaper:
Dead give-away. No way that is an authentic iPhone 6.
Finally, if you flip it over and have a look at the back:
If you take a closer look at the bottom section of the rear cover, you will see this:
Yes; “Designed by M Horse”. Certainly not designed by Apple. This “iPhone” is a knock-off that runs Android OS.
Who is M Horse?
M Horse is a Chines mobile phone manufacturer of Android smartphones. Behind almost every fake iPhone model is an obscure Chinese manufacturer. No offence to other credible Chinese manufacturers who do not produce knock-offs. Do keep an eagle eye open when shopping for smartphones. There are fake models of every successful brand out there. If ever in doubt, walk away.

fake iphones indeed
I’m sorry for posting something different from the main topic. It’s just because this issue on my phone has nearly got peace out of my heart.
I use Gionee M5 Plus with Android lollipop. The contract names got mismatched with one another. A name can be matched with another contact’s number. When a contact called me, it might be showing another name. I have asked a number of people and have even googled but with no solution. A number of people using Android on another phone models have complain similar experience. Please help me out. You can even treat this as a separate topic so that we can share the solution you proffer everywhere if it works. This is because countless number of people out there are having similar experience on Android and are still searching for the solution. Google and OEMs seems not to have responded to people’s complaints about this problem. Thanks a lot Mobilityarena in advance.
Haha. But that’s a fake iPhone 7 plus. It doesn’t look like iPhone 6
LOL. Finally, someone notices!
