We here at ASC have no way of reliably determining if neither, one, or both are “genuine.”


Apple has evolved both their “branding” and packaging - and have used multiple suppliers - over the years.


“Different” doesn’t necessarily mean “counterfeit.”


However, if you purchase a new product from Apple “today” - or an authorized reseller - the packaging WILL have quite distinctive tamper-evident seals.


Lastly, see if this article is helpful:

Folks seem to keep posting images here asking fellow Apple-product users if these images depict an original Apple device. There is no way to tell from the image.


The bottom line? If you purchase these items directly from Apple or an Apple Authorized Reseller, then they are original products. If not, then they could be fake ... especially if you find them at a heavily discounted price.
