Ok, so I just got an iPhone and I am VERY confused.
I got one yesterday but it was wierd so my dad gave it back. Today he got me a new one and it seemed okay, but then I was trying to figure out which generation I had (which I couldn't do with the other iPhone) and I really don't know.
Someone said my iPhone might be fake.
Just so you know, I did NOT buy it in an Apple Store because we don't have it where I live. I bought in a store that sells only phones.
1. The phone is black, 32 GB, has a camera, and the text in the back is written in a greyish color (it's not white like other iPhones).
2. It only has the volume button on the side. To lock the phone I use the home button (also to turn it on / off).
3. When I unlock it, no clock shows up on the wallpaper or the menu where it should be. This might be some setting that can be changed but I can't find it anywhere.
4. On the menu, there are 3 collumns down and 4 to the right, and then there is a collumn underneath those that says "Phone, SMS, Dial, Multimedia".
On all the other iphones I've googled it shows something like "Phone, Mail, Safari, iPod". I guess you could change that on iTunes, but I'm not sure how.
5. Speaking of iTunes, I cannot connect the iphone to it. It does show up on my computer but not on iTunes. I've reinstalled the program but it still doesn't work. I have the updated version and it should work.
6. The box that it came with was slightly wierd. It does look like the box it should come in (http://www.macsimumnews.com/images/uploads/iphone_box.jpg) but it doesn't say iPhone or have the apple logo on the sides. Just a picture of the phone (which btw looks CORRECT, 4 collumns vertical and horizontal, Phone, Mail, Safari and iPod on the lowest collumn and it shows the clock at the top).
In the box it came with the iphone (obviously), really bad quality earphones - at least I think they are, one of them broke almost instantly but it could be because my dad used them before, but they do not look like apples earphones at all - the USB cable that doesn't look like it should (it's short at the bottom, not long and big like the iPod and other iPhones) and just a piece of paper that said "3G Lengthened edition" with some useless stuff.
7. It also came with a pen (you know, the ones you use for touch screens) inside the phone. I didn't even know you could get that on iPhones.
6. It also came with a sock thing to put your iPhone in. Maybe I'm being totally paranoid and stupid but the way they wrote iPhone doesn't look right...
I feel like such a noob but I need to know: is this a fake iPhone?
I thought that maybe it would be in a different packaging and stuff because I don't live in the US and I didn't buy in the Apple Store.
But the whole OS on the phone looks different! I've searched on youtube and google but I just can't find a similar one. Maybe I'm lazy, but I'm kind of freaking out now. FAKE OR NOT?
