Apple Wallet Magsafe real or fake?

hi everyone, I would like to ask a question. Is it possible to recognize, from the box, whether Apple Walett magsafe is original or fake? Thanks!

iPhone 12, 15

I checked numerous sites for what the packaging should look like. From that, I would say you have a fake. Most telling.


1) The huge Made in China text, which does not exist on an actual box. Also notice the spacing for the leather drawing at the top left. It's much more cleanly positioned on a real box, where yours is down quite a ways from the top.



2) Yours appears to be missing the hanger/pull tab for the box insert. Did you even see the following when you slid it out?

Animation? Well, there's a drawing. Look at the back of your box compared to a real one. See how far down the drawing at the top left is from the top of the box compared to the upper image? Poor layout skills by someone on what you have. The leather case to iPhone art isn't even the same. The phone is much darker rather than being ghosted back. And of course, yours has the huge Made in China text.
