apple pencil 2 gen made in vietnam vs china

Hello, recently i bought an apple pencils 2 gen from two different resellers. One of them is made in vietnam and another in china. They have some differents in informations placement on package and in device look.

I attached images of those differents. I also think that one made in china is slitghly thicker. Does it means the pencil on the bottom in pictures is fake or it its only differents in production in two countries?

Yes, the boxes shouldn't matter. However, if they are physically different, then one of them could be a fake. You said you got one from an authorized reseller, but how about the other one?

Regardless, if you are concerned, then visit your local Apple Store to have them verify them to be original or not.

Did you purchase both of these Apple Pencils directly from Apple or an Apple Authorized Reseller? If so, then they should be the original products. If not, then they could be fakes.

There is no way, just by looking at pictures, that anyone here can confirm their authenticity.

Apple does have manufacturing facilities in multiple countries, including China & Vietnam.

Again, if both of these were purchased directly from Apple or an Apple Authorized Reseller, they should be original products. However, and regardless of the boxes they come in, they should be physically identical if both being the exact same model.

So the differents in boxes doesn't matter? Despite differences in packaging, they can still be original? What concern me is that they aren't physically identical, as you can see on pictures. One of them have CE and trash can marks on the back and also there is more and darker text under the tip of one of these.

Yes, but one of those is bought from Apple Authorized Reseller's outlet.

My question is, It is possible that those differents between two different factories can occur?

The serial number of the one made in Vietnam is known by Apple, but not the one made in China.
