See if it appears under warranty information:

Check Your Service and Support Coverage - Apple Support

or:

Settings > General > About ( if using iOS 12.2+)


The only way to be certain a device is not "fake" is to only buy one from Apple or an Apple Authorized dealer.


I don't know that there are truly any "fake" iPhones. Fake accessories such as chargers, yes, but in order to make a convincing fake iPhone you would not only have to duplicate the hardware but also the software. Then it would have to be convincing enough to also interface with Apple's iCloud and other equipment.
