Less plastic, more scammers: New iPhone 13 packaging with a security seal is easy to counterfeit

As we wrote earlier, with the release of the new line of iPhone 13 smartphones, Apple introduced new packaging for gadgets - without

plastic wrapper, but with paper protective seals, which should signal the integrity of the package. But it doesn't seem to be working.

As easy as pie

Chinese craftsmen immediately learned to forgewrapper Moreover, you don’t need any extra effort for this: you only need special stickers, which, it seems, are already sold in the Middle Kingdom and are inexpensive. They are the ones that replace the original protective seal, and if everything is done correctly, you won’t be able to tell it apart from the original.

It turns out that the presence of a paper strip on the packagingdoes not guarantee the authenticity of the content. For example, you may be given a fake or used iPhone. So it’s better to make a purchase in official stores and check your smartphone right away.

By the way, Apple assures that eliminating the use of film in packaging can reduce the amount of plastic used by up to 600 tons.
