Get a 'fake' iPhone 15 Pro Max even if you order from Apple

According to PhoneArena , theEdmard said that despite receiving all the necessary delivery confirmations from Apple and tracking details from delivery partner Dynamic Parcel Distribution (DPD), he had doubts about the iPhone 15 Pro Max after opening the box.

Things escalated when theEdmard noticed a pre-installed screen protector, which led the buyer to think that Apple might sell the returned device. But closer inspection revealed a more worrying reality. When theEdmard booted up the smartphone, he quickly realized it was an Android device with a fake iPhone 15 Pro Max case.

Skipping through the setup process, users are met with Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube pre-installed on the screen. Describing the setup experience, the buyer mentioned, "The OS is glitchy and terrible, the camera is like a slideshow, and it crashes if you try to use any of the on-screen UI elements."

Taking a cautious step, theEdmard has refrained from logging into any accounts, including Apple ID and Apple Wallet, after realizing the potential risks associated with unauthorized access to personal data. TheEdmard’s main motivation for sharing the story is to warn others to be aware that there are many people who own such phones and some may assume that it is legitimate and then log in with their Apple ID, Facebook, Google, etc. accounts.

The buyer promptly alerted Apple to the counterfeit device and is awaiting a response. Buying a fake iPhone directly from an official Apple store is quite unusual, as the delivery service assures buyers that “the box is properly sealed so it has never been opened or tampered with.”
