The cases of the new iPhone 15 are equipped with a security system that displays holograms under ultraviolet light. This is a measure introduced by Apple to recognize real boxes and prevent people from being scammed

It is quite likely that Apple omitted this new feature from its event last week to make the work of counterfeiters more difficult, although it is only a matter of time before scammers create a way to replicate these symbols. This way, it is more likely that authentication will take place using QR codes, which possibly contain some type of information that can be verified by software.

This trick will definitely make it easier to check the authenticity of newly purchased iPhones. However, if you do not have any source of ultraviolet light with you when purchasing a device, it is still advisable to analyze the packaging for possible tampering and check the IMEI or iPhone serial code.

The new iPhones, it is worth noting, began to reach the first consumers today — and, we at MacMagazinewe have already published the unboxings of all colors of both the iPhones 15/15 Plus and the iPhones 15 Pro/15 Pro Max. In Brazil, pre-sales of the devices will begin on September 27th.
