How to tell an iPhone or blackberry is fake

I recently was involved in a situation when one of my friends bought an android phone which he taught was an iPhone I had to tell him before he knew.

Since android is open source many people will try to produce interfaces that looks like other os and if someone is not careful he or she might buy an android phone thinking it an iPhone or a blackberry.

Here are some tips for telling if the the iPhone or blackberry has it original is in it

Check the os in the settings: this work at times but in the case of my friend's situation it didn't verify it true original os. when you open settings check about device the os will appear if it is the correct is it will be written there

The error browser page: if you off your data or Wi-Fi and open a Web page it will display an error page when the error page shows up, if it is an android phone it will show an android icon upside down at the top left corner (Note: this only work on some browsers and should not be the determinate of the phone os)

Itunes: this is the best and most reliable way of determining if your iPhone is original. once you open it, if it is an android phone playstore will be opened. This happened to my friend's fake iPhone when he opened ITunes which displayed playstore

Blackberry world: this is the most verified way of determining if your blackberry is fake or not. If opened and it displays playstore the it means the blackberry is an android phone

I hope with this few tips you won't fall into the same trap my friend fell into.
