3. What to Pay Attention to Avoid Buying Fake VN/A Devices
1. What is an iPhone Code?
The code sequence of an iPhone will include the following:
+ MxxxYY/A: Brand new, unused (Identification: The letter M at the beginning)
+ NxxxYY/A: Warranty replacement, used (Identification: The letter N at the beginning)
+ FxxxYY/A: Refurbished device (Identification: The letter F at the beginning)
+ 3xxxYY/A: Display unit, placed in stores or Apple Stores (Identification: The number 3 at the beginning)
The character sequence YY/A at the end corresponds to the distributed market. We will encounter some common codes as follows:
VN/A: Vietnam
J/A: Japan
KH/A: South Korea
ZP/A: Hong Kong
ZA/A: Singapore
TH/A: Thailand
LL/A: USA
T/A: Italy
EU/A: European countries
2. Detecting Fake iPhones transformed into VN/A
Currently, there is not much information about this 'magical' tool. According to research by Mytour.vn on some tech forums, this tool can only successfully convert the device code from iPhone X and earlier.
At this time, there is NO way to identify or check if a device, currently in use or about to be purchased, has been FAKE transformed into VN/A. Some users believe that resetting to factory settings (Erase all content and settings) will revert these codes to their original state. However, others say it may not work.
In the future, it is hoped that Apple will provide solutions and timely fixes so that users do not fall into the situation of being misled by sellers.
