QR codes are only visible under ultraviolet light
Apple products are often counterfeited, so with the iPhone 15, the company has introduced a new authentication indicator that can only be seen under ultraviolet light.
The videos show that the iPhone 15 boxes have labels and QR codes that only appear under ultraviolet light. These holograms help customers and even Apple itself determine whether a sealed box is genuine or not.

Some sellers repackage used or refurbished devices as new using counterfeit boxes that are exact replicas of the original boxes manufactured by Apple. These devices are then sold at the price of new ones.
However, it can be assumed that those who print fake iPhone boxes will quickly master this technology. This happened with the new tear strips on boxes for iPhones and AirPods.
Let us remind you that today iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Pro, Apple Watch Series 9, Apple Watch Ultra 2, and AirPods Pro with USB-C case go on sale worldwide.
Representatives of Russian retailers and mobile operators told TASS that sales of the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro smartphones in Russia will begin a few days after the official start of global sales.
