Iphone Information Problem (Color)

I wouldn't trust any of those IMEI web sites to get the time of day correct. Neither carriers nor manufacturers make that information available in any searchable or downloadable form, so those web sites have no legitimate nor complete source for their information. They may as well just be making up the data they serve up when you search them.

Your phone is gold, you know that. Does it work correctly? If so, I don't even know what the issue you refer to even is?

If you have any doubts regarding the original color of your iPhone you can simply verify it by checking its model number (settings - general - about - model)

just google it.

I am not "Apple". I do not work for Apple. I am a volunteer, like most of the responders here. The Apple Support Communities are a way for Apple users to help other users.

Greetings Apple,

it is showing it's color 'Silver' but indeed it is 'Gold'.

Apple does not participate in any of the sites you mentioned.

What you can do on an Apple site is verify the correctness of your iPhone's serial number (not IMEI). This will not tell you the iPhone's color, but will reveal its purchase date, warranty coverage, etc.

Then talk to him. Most likely he had damaged his silver iPhone and had had the internals of the phone put into a different body by an unauthorized service provider. Or he bought it this way from an unauthorized source.

either way it looks like you got a discount. You bought two phones for the price of one 😉

I apologize for that ...

No need to apologize. You did not know.

Enjoy your gold iPhone.

Did you buy your phone either in Apple Store or from the Apple Authorized Reseller?
