Apple’s New Verification Tactic: iPhone 15 Boxes Now Feature UV Light Labels

In a recent announcement at the annual September 2023 event, Apple unveiled the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro series. While the phones themselves come packed with features, there’s another noteworthy addition that Apple has silently introduced to combat the rising issue of iPhone scams. This change comes in the form of a new verification system on the iPhone 15’s packaging.

In the past when you purchased a new iPhone, the outer packaging and the factory seal condition were the main indicators of its newness. However, some cunning sellers managed to deceitfully repackage used or refurbished iPhones, making it tricky for buyers to spot the difference between a genuinely new box and a resealed one.

Addressing this issue, Apple has innovated with its packaging for the iPhone 15 series. As pointed out by X (formerly known as Twitter) user MajinBuOfficial, these boxes now feature UV-light-sensitive QR-code labels located at the top and bottom. When a UV light is shone on the box’s back, it reveals a hologram, verifying the iPhone 15’s authenticity. Our team confirmed this on an iPhone 15 Pro Max box, and the results matched the claims.

If you’re in the market for a new iPhone, this UV light label provides an additional layer of assurance. Buyers are encouraged to use this method to confirm the genuineness of their purchase. Another essential step is to ensure that the warranty coverage starts from the purchase date. This can be done by entering the iPhone’s serial number on a specific page on Apple’s website. For a worry-free experience, it’s always recommended to make your purchase either from online or offline Apple Stores or from recognized resellers.
