My iphone 5s has google play store as app store

I got my iphone 5s yesterday, and to my surprise today the phone has google play store as app store. I was really in a haste when i was buying the phone, so i only checked the validity of the phone by typing its serial number on https://selfsolve.apple.com and i saw the device is a valid purchase from apple store so that doesn't make me think otherwise of the phone. please i need your help on what to do. the device details are;

serial number: C36LQ9M6FRC6

capacity: 32GB

IMEI: 358690050211040

Model number: MF354ZP/A

ICCID: 89860111607480664969

Pls i can provide you with any other details you'll need

iPhone 5s, iOS 7.1.1

Are you sure it is the Google Play Store? There is a Google Play app for movies and TV only. And another app for Google Play Music.


there is no way to install the Google play store on an iPad running stock Apple iOS and the only hacks that even allow it are very unusual (simply jail breaking will not do it) so if running Android and Google Play Store (or an Android emulator, if any still exist for download) you have a radically hacked device.

I've seen some convincing fake iPhones before. When you open the "AppStore" on one of those devices it opens Google Play since its actually an Android OS. The skin is meant to give the appearance of an iPhone. I've heard people go as far as putting in a serial number of a true iPhone for instances like this.


Can you connect it to iTunes? That will be the true test.

Yes i'm very sure it's google play

so if it's hacked, what can i do?

I tend to agree with the others - you do not have an iPhone. You have a counterfeit or fake. The hacks to install Android or an Android emulator and install Google Play Store are very unusual types of hacks, and are quite involved to accomplish. Even most die-hard jail breakers would be unfamiliar with them. So a hacked device seems very unlikely.
