Each time Apple presents a new lineup - the hearts of buyers freeze in anticipation. Most users are not so much in anticipation of novelties of the smartphone, how much are waiting for changes in design, color scheme and style. After all, when the new smartphone gets into the hands of the first thing, what pays attention is to its appearance. About iPhone 7 and choosing a color for it, changes in design and new colors We will tell you in this article.

The color range of iPhones has always been a line of strict and, at the same time, elegant shades that are suitable as a child and businessman. Always adhering to this rule Apple was able to succeed and conquer the hearts of users not only with the help of the quality of the product, and with the help of their beauty and sophistication.

How varying color gamut iphone

Starting from the first successful model - iPhone 3G and to the iPhone 5 inclusive, the color gamut of the Apple smartphones remained unchanged, only black and white and very few changes in design. Revolutionary in the color decision was the release of the iPhone 5C, then they came out immediately in five color solutions - white, yellow, green, blue and pink. After that, the company returned to the release of more classical shades, adding a new golden shade there or in another champagne. So the iPhone 5s has already come out in three colors. The iPhone SE was the first smartphone released in four colors - this is "gray space", gold, silver and new color "Rose Gold", in this line also abandoned the usual black. This layout of colors existed before the release of the modern flagship - iPhone 7. What colors prepared this lineup to us?

Color gamut iphone 7

So what an iPhone 7 and the colors granted to us to choose from? The new seven came out in five colors - it is silver, golden, "Rose Gold", Matte Black, who came to replace "Space Gray" and the new "black onyx". Each of these colors is unique and beautiful when you hold the phone in your hands. So you can always choose the color that best suits you. It is worth noting that in this collection, the company decided to return to black color using new colors and all shades of black.

"Black Onyx"

"Black Onyx" is a novelty in Apple phones colors. The name of this phone speaks by itself, because in nature onyx is a beautiful expensive stone. Surely in the title laid meaning that your smartphone on beauty will not give way to natural creations. There are a lot of discussion about this new color. When you hold it in your hands, it seems that he is very expensive and elite.

His body is made more durable and ultra-smooth. The entire body is polished to the mirror, which makes it unsurpassed perfectly. But unfortunately there is one big minus - his gloss while in his hands very quickly loses its presentability, and becomes blurred. On the Internet, there is even a review, about how to blur it. So the use of such a phone in everyday life is directly related to the purchase of a special case - without him he is nowhere.

Matte black

The seventh iPhone also came out in a new beautiful matte solution. This color is undoubtedly the most "male" solution in this collection. When you take into my hands, this phone arises the feeling that it is the most expensive and stylish gadget, which can become not only an additional functionality, but simply a part of your life. It is this coloring that is most practical from the newly introduced. Despite his "brutality", he looks good and in female hand.

"Pink gold"

Noticeably loved by all the rose gold, which has become a hit when the seventh is released, it became an integral part of this collection. According to statistics, this phone comes to taste not only to women and children, on which it is designed primarily, but also to men. Plastic inserts that perform the role of antennas are great to harmonize with the logo in the center of the case, and the modified camera immediately makes it clear that you are a happy owner of an iPhone seven.

Gold

This color has already become an integral part of any release of Apple smartphones. Tinting in Asia and Europe, the hue looks very noble and expensive. Although on its body, white bands will be viewed much more, it does not interfere with the look and flawlessly combined with the design.

The only question that may occur is whether the color from the antennas will not erase with time? But since in this lineup, the coating of the phones is made much better and better, then you must certainly expect problems with chips and scratches. The choice of the Golden Smartphone is a good way to put a mark on the use of elite products.

Silver

Silver body color is a benchon among the color of the iPhones gamut. He is unchanged already many issues in a row. This color is suitable for those who do not like celebration and pomp, but prefers more traditional solutions and an elite design. The smartphone in such a decision is recognized as the most practical. It will be less noticeable to the strips of antennas and over time, it is less than the environmental exposure. Even if you use the phone without a special case, over time it is less visible to chips and scratches.

What color to choose?

All the colors of smartphones are unique in their own way. What color would not be chosen, everyone has its own characteristics and they are all beautiful in their own way. "Rose Gold" will enjoy your daily world with a pleasant shade of the celebration, gold will add wealth and pompousness, gray will not distract from affairs, but give them rigor, and you have purposefulness, matte black will give you rigor and self-confidence, and the new "Black Onyx" will attach the attention of others and supplement your unique image. An iPhone color you choose only complement your daily life with something beautiful.

The iPhone 7 line provides customers with a wide range of colors for choice. It is silver, rose gold, gold, matte black, black onyx and red. But the choice of color iPhone is not only a nice gift, but also a difficult task. The color of the phone may well claim to the dominant position among all the parameters, because nothing does not emphasize the style and individuality of your device as an expressive appearance.

The original iPhone appeared only in aluminum and black versions, now we have a whole range of stylish colors iPhone 7. And in this article we will consider them all weighing the pros and cons of design and features of operation.

What are the good iPhone 7 black onyx and matteo black? Among other things, the black front panel, which merges with the display, when it is turned off, is darkened or filled with full-screen multimedia content, such as video and games. The border disappears if the frame is black, and you watch the movies or play. Not in vain, so many years of televisions have exactly such a dark design, it helps to immerse yourself in view.

At the same time, the iPhone 7 with silver flowers, gold, rose gold and red RED are equipped with white facial panels. This also has its advantages, for example, when the screen is bright when reading, viewing documents, web surfing, messaging. In these tasks, the black frame will only distract and sharply outline the working field. Note that the usual book is completely white.

But they get used to the front panel of any color and, in the end, cease to notice her. However, cases are different.

"If you play a lot and watch a video, then black and onyx will be a good choice and will help you tightly turn off the brain and" tilt. "

- If you read a lot from your smartphone, you work, surfing, use standard applications, then the white iPhone 7 color will be more appropriate.

Danger of pollution and sweating

The danger of sweating of the white iPhone case, as the time has shown, paranoid and can be completely discarded. It is with white clothes worth worrying about what it will be buried, will shudder, covers spots from beer and burgers. The same thing in white furniture and carpets, where every spot from Ketchup or mustard - will remain with you until the very moment of sending things to the landfill. With iPhons the situation is quite different. Confirmation of this - white iPhone 4, some of which are already in many years. And these devices are still white and fluffy, clear and unparalleled as on the day of purchase. The same thing is traced with other colors and models produced by Apple in the following years. You can safely be for the front panel, and for the back!

Resistance to wear

IPhones have aluminum housings with anodized surface. Apple technology is superior to standard anoxization and does not look like a slippery as separate examples of similar procedures. Undoubtedly, metal is a good thing, but can be scratched.

the iPhone with silvery flowers have a pleasant feature to shrink small scratches at the expense of small contrast of roughness. Gold and pink-gold iPhone 7 are a bit inferior in this silver. But the black and onyx colors of the iPhone contrastingly highlight damage on the housing, making them more noticeable.

Many are still as much as they scratched the phone, because the aging of the subject - the inevitable fate and the scratched iPhone can also be as well as to the leather bag or seerful jeans. True, even more users would never like to see their smart scratched.

- If you feel about people who have every scratch on the iPhone 7 creates gray hair, buy silver!

- Do not like silver? Then there will have to love the protective covers.

Slipky against Lipsky

black matte iPhone, silver, gold, pink gold and red RED are made in aluminum anodized finish, the same as iPhone 6 and the previous iPhone 5. If you used these models, you can imagine how the device lies in the hand, what It is touch. You can note tactile progress in iPhones: iPhone 6s was a bit not so slippery, as the usual sixth model, and the iPhone 7 became even less slippery. True, if you worry that the smartphone in the final will still slip out of your handle curves, it is better to immediately get a cover regardless of color.

The exception was the iPhone 7 of the color onixes black. It is so polished, which will almost stick to his hands, leaving the remaining metal models behind this parameter.

- If you do not have any problems in order to keep metal iPhones in the sweaty hands, buy any colors.

- If you are afraid that the iPhone will jump out of the hand like soap in the prison shower, then pay attention to the onyx black. But in any case, this problem with metal colors iPhone 7 is easily solved covers - and the hands of the hands and the fall is not so scary.

And if in the case?

A person who immediately hides a new iPhone in a durable case or a handbag, might think that the color does not matter for it. Fairly partly. But most often something will be seen: the logo with apple, edges, ports, front panel. Also, from under your jacket, shirt cuffs and her collar look. So it is still necessary to frozen over the choice of color iPhone 7. Take the phone in your style, and then emphasize your favorite cover.

- Choose a black or silver iPhone to produce a furor.

"But if the iPhone 7 in your hands should be an inconspicuous accessory, choose gold, rose gold or red red and hide them into covers.

Outcome

What is the difference and what are the risks.

Difference

True story:

Bought in the N "gray" iPhone in the store, but the speaker flew in it. I wanted to give to warranty for warranty, and the store is no longer.

Such stories are not uncommon. Even large online stores are collapsed, since because of the course of the course, it has become almost impossible.

So it turns out that I wanted to save a couple of thousand, and in the end I paid much more.

So what is now better iPhone to take: PCT or Eurotest?

When the iPhone turns into PCT

At once. PC- This is generally accepted, but not quite the correct designation of such devices. In fact they are called EAC..

Apple has an iPhone for different markets, including Russian. However, "White", thereby "PCT" it becomes after the internal certification in the Russian Federation and customs control will be held.

What gives us this?

- a full guarantee in Russia;
- You do not support the "gray" market.

Usually officially imported EAC iPhone is slightly "gray" devices, but you can sleep calmly, knowing that in the case of PE you will not be denied warranty.

EAC iPhone is your bro.

The so-called "gray" iPhone is imported into the country unofficially, without customs passage (and therefore without paying duty). Yes, he is a little cheaper EAC, but at the same time you buy a smartphone at your own risk. Especially now.

What risk

As you already understood, the main difference is guarantee. So what, you say. But I will normally save, "and PCT - for fools."

Yes, it was until recently. But now the market situation is such that numerous online shopping is difficult to compete with official resellers. Small shops are closed, as the course has become simple. And to whom to go further, if there is no longer the office, and the problem is there a problem?

The unstable course made the purchase of "gray" iPhone a meaningless check, as they do not win in price. Suppose here is the price of iPhone 6S by 64 GB in re: Store.

But the average price for the same iPhone in Yandex Market.

The difference is minimal, so what then is this lime economy?

How it will end

In the event of a breakdown, you remain with problem iPhone, but save with this a couple of thousands. And it is necessary?

For example, replacing the display module on iPhone 6 will cost 10 thousand rubles. And for iPhone 6s - 19 thousand rubles. Oblast overpayment, right?

Eventually

Now not the best times for the "gray" market. And suffers, as always, the buyer. Buying not EAC equipment you, in fact, play the lottery.

Therefore, it is better to go to the store with a good reputation and asscription "PREMIUM RESELLER".

In my city it is re: Store. - The largest network of Apple Premium Reseller in Russia. The store in which you will always help and will not refuse free warranty service.

Save here:

• nerves because there is a sachet + protecting against all the problems of the device
• money because you can take installments without overpaying for a long time.

What is good installment:

For example, you take the iPhone 6S by 128 gigabytes. Installing for 12 months - it means you pay 6 249 rubles per month. You do not remember any percent, no penny. Do not worry about raising prices to be.

Or here is the option. Update your Mac: Take MacBook Pro 13 "with the Retina display. The newest thing for 8,582 rubles per month. Powerful laptop for work and entertainment, which is no longer necessary to save endlessly.

About insurance and installments still tell me more in more detail. In the meantime - take care of the nerves, money and time. Purchasted in proven places, which will not close tomorrow.

Design, construction

Perhaps the most interesting thing in new iPhone is not even numerous improvements, features, and the appearance of ferrous colors - simple matte and smooth Jet Black. It is especially interesting to the story with the latter, but for a start - a little about how "black onyx" is created. The body of the apparatus is sharpened from a solid piece of aluminum, as you can see, the protruding and clinging rim of the camera disappeared, now there is a small rounded ledge, in real life, the device has become more convenient. I eternally dragging the iPhone in your pocket and has already managed to evaluate a new design. If earlier I pulled out a smartphone with a wallet, now this does not happen. Antennas, as you can see, are hidden on the ends, as for the reception - it seems that there are no explicit changes, I will test further. It seems to me if you hold a smartphone in your hand, then in zones with bad reception, it may be worse than the iPhone 6S. There are no problems on the street.

So, the basic set of colors is ordinary: gold, rose gold, silver. All of them are familiar, girls and fashionists will like the pink option, someone chooses gold, but many immediately take a black matte or black glossy, he is Jet Black, he is "black onyx".

It is created like this: first there is anodizing the housing (nine levels), then polishing according to special technology. The smartphone has a special packaging, completely black box, boxes with ordinary iPhone white. I chose Jet Black, firstly, because the color is clear the most interesting, secondly, I want to see how the coverage in ordinary life will behave. Despite the crying on the network, I will note that - the prints appear, the scratches are also possible, but all this is such nonsense compared to the appearance of the device. Looks amazing! Reminds immediately and glass, and ceramics, causes memories about Nokia Luna and black Nokia 8800 - remember, with so deep color? Believe me, among other "seven", it is JET BLACK that is perceived as a luxury smartphone, although in terms of functionality he does not differ from his fellow. In Russia and in the world there is a terrible deficit of such devices, to go and buy from the street for many more, many months, in Russia on the gray market the top iPhone 7 Plus Jet Black cost about 400,000 rubles (and then you have to search). So, if you have the opportunity to buy just such a device - skip all sorts of rumors and articles about a terribly brand smartphone past. Marky, yes. But such an iPhone has not yet been - it's just something.

Yes, especially depressing other tips - Wrap the Jet Black in the case, in a rag, flush the film, this is the worst that you can do with iPhone 7. Especially for maternity users I will prepare material about the best covers for smartphone (for Plus), but all - I advise you to walk without cases, especially in the case of the Black Onyx.

By the way, simple black and Jet Black differ not only with a shade, but also tactile sensations. The first velvety, on the matte case, traces of use are invisible, that is, this is a kind of antipode, the dream of a accumator, in Russia will be very popular. While Jet Black smooth, not slippery, namely smooth. For a couple of days of active use, the smartphone did not fly out of the hands, although I had a wanted it already, we were able to take up my hands while I was preparing food, mock in other ways. The Surface Jet Black is easily cleaned by traces. Sometimes you confuse the sides, try to search the Home button on the back. Apparently, it will soon be a normal situation.

As you know, Apple abandoned the HOME mechanical button, as always, the company acts as a revolutionary in various fields - while others think to steal from Apple, Apple invent something new in Apple. Why removed the mechanics, asks an inquisitive reader. After all, so many years the button pleased us with a pleasant "Cocan"! The button was removed for several reasons. Any moving parts, "Mechanics" - extra costs in production, plus users break the buttons with strong hands, come to the service, all this trouble. In addition, it is probably connected with protection from water, dust. At Apple are not engaged in charity, Apple is engaged in business. Minus button there, minus connector here, here and saving in production! We are talking about millions of devices. How does the button behave in real life? After activating the device, you set up the response level, three steps: weak, medium, strong, I put a strong one. In the finger there is not even vibration, but a pleasant touch on the other hand, all actions remain the same, however, during the first hours it will be necessary to get used to quickly "tap" twice for calling the running applications. And for the "soft" reboot, another scheme is now applied, you need to keep the volume button and the power button.

In the usual life of the button with Taptic Engine there are advantages, and cons. Pros - no need physical pressing for the entrance. Here, as before, there is a fingerprint sensor, it works instantly, very little errors, I advise you to assign several fingers to unlock for greater convenience. Cons - If you are used to the physical button and cannot accept the innovations, then you need to stay with iPhone 6 / 6S.

Further, most likely, it will be even more interesting. Apple may well remove all the buttons from the case. Touch panels on the ends, automatic volume adjustment, several assignments from the Home button, tapping, strong and weak touch - this is what will happen in the near future with the iPhone. You can laugh, you can condemn, but before you do it, look at the Home button in the iPhone 7. You know, it works fine!

The rejection of the 3.5 mm connector occurred for the same reasons. Minus one element - plus place, plus protection from water, dust, plus push all the stagnant wired headphone industry, plus push for Bluetooth. Cut extra in Apple can be very good.

Every year I choose exactly the Plus due to the size of the display and the capabilities of the camera, my smartphone replaces me and the tablet, and the phone - the iPad Pro sometimes helps, but more often I even write posts to your blog using the iPhone (Mobile Wordpress is very pleased). But each person does not advise such a device, it is hurt enough. Dimensions - 158.2 x 77.9 x 7.3 mm, weight - 188 grams, it seems heavier than iPhone 6S Plus, in fact - easier by 4 grams. Comparison of all current iPhone can be viewed.

Protection against water

Immediately after the start of use, the other design of the SIM card slot (Nanosim), Lightning connector, is drawn. The first seems to not reach the end, there is no usual click. Well, the plugs in the connector are sitting very tightly, some have to pull out with the effort. All this is due to gaskets and other features of the case protected in accordance with the IP67 standard. What does it mean? This means that the smartphone does not need to be used in the water, but it will endure the spray, if it is pouring out of the bottle, if I accidentally drop into the pool and immediately get it. In essence, this is the basic level of protection. Surely in the company will collect statistics, and the next apparatus will have full protection against water, like Apple Watch Series 2 watches.

But even the iPhone 7 is already subject to unthinkable testing. He is drowned in a coland, in a soup, in tea, in coffee, frozen, dive - in general, what only the tests are invented by the public. Despite the incomplete protection, the device is able to withstand a lot - we have been bathing 7 plus in a vase with water within minutes of twenty, they did a photo, called nothing happened.

My advice to you - do not repeat all these nonsense. Still, this is not a professional device, and the service then go to you, not journalists. Fruit rain, playing the sea, girls will probably enjoy that after falling in the toilet iPhone 7 will continue to work, as if nothing had happened. Familiar in services call this cause of the main breakdown (if we talk about girls). Apparently, the toilet era leaves, and this, of course, is good.

Please note that after staying in the water, the device must be dried, not to charge at least a couple of hours, do not be dried using a hair dryer. Over time, the gaskets in the housing can lose their qualities, so in a year or two uses heavily watered the seven at all.

I hope in relation to the iPhone 7 and the water you will do everything with the mind.

Warranty on "gray" devices

With the start of sales in the world in Russia, IPhone 7/7 Plus rushed from other countries. If you decide to buy a smartphone from the USA or Europe, then I urge you not to do nonsense. First, why maintain a gray market if official sales are already here? Secondly, the World Warranty on the iPhone 7/7 Plus in Russia does not work, Apple is not at all interesting to change your device to the new (or change large nodes) and, it turns out, pay the tax for the device that imported here is unofficial. That is, if you break the screen of the beautiful Jet Black from the US, it will not work in any way.

Display

The "seven" display, on the one hand, has retained the iPhone 6 / 6S Plus diagonal - 5.5 inches, on the other hand, has acquired new qualities. For start - specifications:

• Reetina HD display with advanced color coverage (P3)
• Widescreen display with a diagonal of 5.5 inches and backlit LED
• Multi-Touch with IPS technology
• Resolution 1920x1080 pixels, 401 pixel / inches
• Contrast 1300: 1 (Standard)
• Brightness up to 625 cd / m² (standard)
• Two-home pixels for expanding the viewing angle
• Oleophobic coating, resistant to the appearance of traces from fingers
• Support simultaneous display of multiple languages \u200b\u200band symbol sets
• Screen scaling
• Convenient access

On the iPhone 6S Plus oleophobic coating erased somewhere after six months of daily (and very active) use, I wonder how it will be here. I even had the idea to change the display completely - so bad without oleophobic coating. Now, when "iPhone" is still new, everything is very good. As far as I see, the brightness has seriously changed, the viewing angles have become better, the display has feedback, and now it has reached a new level. Previously, strong pressing caused an additional menu of action, now in a number of programs is still better - the screen works in conjunction with Taptic Engine. For example, when you put a timer and twist the wheel, the gear is moving under the finger pad, the memories of the "Jogh" in the Sony phones are coming immediately. The feeling is very interesting and unexpected - in fact, it vibrates not the screen, but the motor at the bottom. There are the same effects in some games and other programs. In general, traditionally for Apple, while some chasing the insane brightness and acidic colors, they work here at the level of emotions, sensations - to abandon these chips hard. And this is also hard to reproduce it is also hard - there is the connection of "iron" and software at an incredible level.

If you suddenly decide to use films or glass, I will recommend Just Mobile products - there are practically imperceptible accessories with an interesting technology of "self-treatment" scratches, they are delayed.

Audio

Immediately, I will say about the main thing if you use the original adapter Lightning, then with any MFI certification headset (MADE for iPhone / iPad) operate control buttons, microphone. That is, the CTIA pinout is played in this small adapter. Moreover, there was still a DAC, so that the whole field for experiments begins here - this is especially true for hybrid headphones supporting connecting and Bluetooth, and cable. I think adapters for Lightning will show more and more accessories manufacturers, so the new necessary thing for Apple products has imperceptibly.

As for the Earpods headset with Lightning - a comfortable and good mass product, very well find such headphones included. In general, a good sound quality, convenient control, a very good microphone, you can walk with such headphones every day, especially if you are not audiophile.

I managed to try the iPhone 7 Plus with different products that were at hand, I will try to list and say something about it. The company clearly hints: friend, use Bluetooth more often!

• BOSE QC35.I hope it is now clear why in the company made large headphones with noise reduction wireless - yes, that is why. Let me remind you, it's some of the best hybrid headphones on the market, possess many advantages, among them the most important is an excellent active noise reduction system. With iPhone 7 Plus headphones healthy use during long flights, you can easily watch movies, the display diagonal allows.

• Creative Sound Blaster Roar SR20A, though the old one is already a horse, but the furrows will not definitely spoil! Moreover, it costs only 11,990 rubles now, some columns below class are comparable money. Well, here is a chic sound, no wires, for the house column can become the only music center. There is still a sound recording, built-in microphones for conversation, megaphone and the ability to connect two columns into the stereo pair. The steep thing, as it was, and remained, I essentially recommended.

• Parrot Zik 2.Also not the first fresh thing thing, but for iPhone 7 Plus is generally some of the best headphones. Excellent software, active noise reduction, sound quality can be configured in any limits, long work offline, sensory control. Now in some places there are excellent prices, Zik 3 is also worth considering, although they are more expensive. Parrot earned an official store in Russia, there is something at interesting prices, check.

• Cambridge G5., the survey of the system is on the site, in Russia about the brand so far they know little, but I personally like it - quite a normal price, while the system is simply played perfectly well. And besides, it is produced in the color "Rose Gold", for girls it is a find. I am very glad that I happened to meet this device - with the iPhone 7 Plus you can use as the only music center for a small apartment.

• Naim MU-SO QBIn my opinion, among compact systems, this is the best in functionality, sound, design, chips. The best, but also costs. Since there is Airplay, sound quality without a wire is excellent, although you can use Bluetooth if desired. As can be seen, another big plus - you need little space for installation. And this is a real Hi-Fi!

• BANG & OLUFSEN BEOPLAY H5, I finish the review of the headphones, a very interesting thing, as if specially created for the seven. Beautiful design, excellent application with an interesting equalizer preset system, convenient wards for charging, well, and, in general, you see what a compact and cute device. There is no disappointment for the sound, with the iPhone 7 plus everything is very good, I go with H5 even more than it should be accustomed. There is still a pink option for girls, green has recently been presented. All the owners of the seven are planning to pay attention.

This, of course, not everything, I plan to prepare another material about the audio for the iPhone 7/7 Plus in the near future. Here I also wanted to show new and old devices, perfectly suitable for new iPhone - at least, they all very much like me.

All photos are made in seven or eight hours, and I was surprised how the lens of the device literally delays the remains of the world, - such vampirism.

Shooting at night

If when selling an iPhone is called gray, then we are in most cases not about the color of the body, but the degree of legality of the importance of this device into the country's territory. How to determine the "gray" smartphone and what consequences may entail the acquisition of such a gadget - we understand the material below.

A few years ago, for most domestic users, the difference between "gray" and "white" (official) iPhone was determined exclusively worth the cost, and the purchase of a smartphone in informal resellers (in common "dealers" or "Baryg") a medium-term Russian or a resident of the near abroad considered usual savings. In fact, the use of an illegally sold device can be justified from an economic point of view, but gray gray solutions, and buy an iPhone better taking into account the recommendations presented below.

What is "gray" iPhone

To officially sell the iPhone in Russia or any other country in the world, it is necessary to conclude a contract with Apple, pay the customs fee, pass certification and get all permits. Naturally, official dealers who have spent time and means for the passage of these mandatory procedures are taken into account when calculating the price of their own and state interests (for example, VAT value, which is equal to 20% of the cost in Russia). This is the "white" iPhone, and it is possible to find it only from official dealers (which are usually large retail chains, such as connected, M.Video, etc.), as well as on the official Apple website. The list of "white" resellers of their settlement can be obtained by clicking on this link.

However, not every batch of smartphones is worth passing all the circles of bureaucratic hell and pay customs fees. To carry several (or several tens) iPhone across the border from nearby European or Asian countries is not difficult for many people who want to earn, and the final price of such a device for the buyer is usually 20% (plus-minus) below the market.

It is important to understand that we are talking about absolutely new original Apple smartphones. On how to identify the Chinese fake, we were told in detail, but about used iPhones sold under the guise of recovered -. Also in this article will not mention the fraudsters selling through the iPhone 5S ads under the guise of iPhone SE, unlocked devices in the sealed packaging, etc.

In other words,

"Gray" iPhone is an ordinary original Apple's smartphone, but which has not passed the certification procedure for the country to which it is imported after the sale. Usually the "gray" iPhone is imported and sold with a violation of tax legislation (smuggling). In addition, when using the iPhone in the "non-standard" region (not in the country for which it has been released), some restrictions described below are possible.

Is Apple's warranty for gray iPhone

To oblige Apple to legally repair warranty smartphones imported from abroad, it is possible - the company is not taken for repairing devices for objective reasons due to technical limitations of different countries. For example, China uses other communication standards other than European. In this case, prove that the LTE frequency does not have a relationship for the breakdown or marriage of the battery

Nevertheless, the internal policy of Apple does not cancel the existence of the Consumer Rights Protection Act. If you bought a "white" or "gray" iPhone from a legal entity (online store) in Russia, then you have the right to make a claim for two years since the acquisition. Naturally, in the presence of a commercial check.

It is worth noting that since 2019 on some "Gray" iPhone apple's annual (1 year) applies to Apple Warranty in Russia. If there are problems, it will be necessary to access the Apple official reseller. At the same time, the warranty period for the "white" (official) iPhone is 2 years.

Here is a list of iPhone versions currently subject to free warranty service in 2019:

iPhone 7: A1778.
iPhone 7 Plus: A1784.
iPhone 8: A1905, A1863.
iPhone 8 Plus: A1897, A1864.
iPhone X: A1901, A1865.
iPhone XS: A2097.
iPhone XS Max: A2101.
iPhone XR: A2105.

It is important to understand that in this case we are talking about the global guarantee, the duration of which is one year, whereas the apparatus acquired from the official dealer can be served for free within two years.

Benefits of "gray" iPhone

The main and often decisive for the buyer the advantage of gray iPhone in comparison with legally imported is the cost. The difference in price can reach about 25%, while most users of other differences between smuggled and acquired by the official reseller smartphones do not see, but still they are.

Problems of "gray" iPhone during operation

In most cases, the use of "gray" iPhone does not cause any problems, but this is due to the fact that most devices fall to us from the countries of the nearest abroad. If you purchase Taiwanese or, for example, the Brazilian gadget, then you can face low-quality communication and even the absence of the LTE connection. This happens because of the use of different frequencies in Europe, Asia, South America, etc. By the way, the Russian authorities have no longer threatened and blocked all the smartphones illegally entering the country. It is very complicated, but performing, from a technical point of view, the task.

Perhaps the most significant problems can bring the purchase " gray "operator iPhone (He is: "Local", "Bulk", a contract, tied to the operator, SIM-LOCK, etc.). Such a smartphone works only with a SIM card of a certain operator in the country where the purchase was made.

In addition to the cases described above, the "gray" iPhone can provide less serious trouble to their owner. For example, a plug for connecting the charger adapter to the power grid is different in many countries. This means the absence of the possibility of connecting a British or, for example, an American iPhone to a domestic outlet with a standard charge without a special adapter

A less important nuance is that Apple complies with the laws of countries in which he sends their gadgets, which entails some consequences. For example, the iPhone bought in the emirates will not support Facetime video calls, the Japanese smartphone will not allow the sound of the camera, and the "European" will limit the maximum volume in the headphones (for Russia, Apple has no restrictions yet).

Eventually:

The best "gray" iPhone for the Russian user is an iPhone, brought from the European Union. The device is practically no different from the official Apple smartphone produced for Russia, except for the lack of a two-year warranty and limiting the maximum volume.

How to distinguish the "gray" iPhone from "White"

Naturally, in the store to unpack the iPhone you will not give you, but the box itself will help to easily distinguish the "white" iPhone from the imported from abroad. The description of the smartphone (on the bottom of the package) on it should be in Russian, at the end of the identifier of the model there must be a "RR", "RS" or "RU".

For example, the IPhone model identifier, which was produced for the US market will end with letters LL (or LL / A), British - B (B / A), Apple Smartphone from Poland - PM (PM / A), from Hong Kong - etc.

Fake all these signs of distinction or use the packaging from another smartphone is quite difficult and not too favorable in terms of potential profits, therefore these features can be considered sufficient to determine the "whiteness" iPhone.

If you agree to acquire the iPhone from the hands, but you do not want to acquire a "gray" gadget, then start checking it with the compliance of information on the box and on the smart one.

Serial number, IMEI and model must be identical in the device settings ( Settings → Maintenance → About this device) And on the box.

In more detail about checking the iPhone online, we were told in.

Eventually:

If you need unambiguously "white" iPhone, then buy only in large retail chains and in the stores of official resellers: Svyaznoy, M.Video, Re: Store, on Apple website, etc. Such an iPhone has "RR", "RS" or "RU" symbols at the end of the model identifier, which can be found in the IOS settings or on the back of the package.

Output

"Gray" iPhone really helps to save in case of conclusion of a transaction with a respectable sellernot hiding the origin of the device that did not produce its activation and not replacing accessories, packaging, commercial check.
