My iPhone 12 model number starts with 3H513LL/A2172
is it a fake phone?
[Re-Titled by Moderator]
iPhone 12, iOS 16
A unit with a model number starting with “3” indicates that it has been refurbished by an Apple approved facility.
I chatted with support advisor she said it’s not refurbished or fake.. after the have run the serial number.. she said it’s a genuine iPhone.. I asked her why does my mine start with a 3H she said it’s part of the hardware
Is my iPhone 12 genuine?
