Understanding iPhone Inter and iBox
Before discussing the differences between iPhones in detail, you first need to know the meaning of these two products.
iPhone Inter is a used product from another country that is sold in Indonesia. Whereas iPhone iBox is an Apple smartphone product sold by an official distributor.
In short, the products sold by iBox are official goods, they are not limited to iPhones but also other Apple products.
So, you have to be careful before deciding to buy an iPhone, especially if you are going to buy a second hand product.
Most ex-international iPhone products are not sold by iBox, these products are distributed by other distributors.
What is the Difference between iBox and Inter iPhones?
Indeed, in terms of appearance and features, both are the same, but there are differences between the two products. There are several Inter iPhone products whose IMEI is not registered.
Thus these goods are classified as illegal goods. So, don't rush to buy, find out more about the differences between the iPhone inter and the iPhone iBox below:
Different Product Guarantees
If you buy an iPhone iBox product from an official distributor, of course you will get a guarantee if at any time your cellphone is damaged.
Meanwhile, if you buy an Inter iPhone, you cannot claim the guarantee if something happens at the iBox store.
You can't buy inter iPhone products from the official Apple store in Indonesia so you can't exchange the warranty on iBox.
Actually, you can still claim the inter iPhone warranty, you just have to exchange it in the country where the cellphone originates.
So think carefully before buying an iPhone, don't be tempted by a cheap price just for the sake of a cool cellphone.
Product Built-in Accessories
The difference between iPhone iBox and inter can be found when buying one of them. You do not get the same accessories as the product purchased at the official store.
The difference in accessories that you get can be seen from the charger head that you get. If you buy an international product, chances are you will get a charger head with a different model to local Indonesian products.
It could be that you get a charger head with three legs. But based on personal buying experience iPhone XR Ex-international, the charger head you get still has two legs like local chargers in general. It's just that the charger head is labeled Asus.
However, in the second experience of buying an ex-international iPhone 11 Pro, the charger you got was the same as the iPhone iBox in general. So in terms of accessories, the differences between iPhone Inter are hit and miss
Product Price different
The purchase price of iPhone Inter products is certainly much cheaper than the iPhone iBox. Because ex-international products are second-hand goods imported from abroad.
The iBox product is a new item that is officially distributed by Apple distributors in Indonesia. So the price they charge is usually more expensive than the iPhone Inter version.
So, you should not be easily tempted by the cheap prices of iPhone products. You are obliged to consider product quality, warranty, IMEI, cellphone accessories and so on.
Problematic SIM Card
The next thing that differentiates between iPhone Inter and iBox is the SIM card.
It is not uncommon for ex-international iPhone users to complain that their cellphones have difficulty detecting networks from local providers. Of course, this problem really interferes with the basic features of a cellphone.
Meanwhile, similar incidents are rarely found in products iPhones purchased from distributors.
Product Country Code
The striking difference between Inter and iBox is in the country code. Generally, iPhones sold officially for the Indonesian market have the country code PA/A, ID/A DE/A or SA/A.
Most Inter iPhone codes are LL/A (America), ZA/A (Singapore), CA/A (Canada), and various other codes.
So, to find out this code, you can go to your cellphone settings then click 'general' or 'general' then click 'about'. There you can see the series, model and IMEI of the product you want to buy.
Different Packaging
Another thing that differentiates the iPhone iBox from the iPhone Inter is the cellphone packaging. You can see the green peel next to the country code.
Well, usually you can't find the green peel sign on the iPhone Inter that you want to buy.
iPhone Product Availability
Between iPhone iBoxes in one country and another country have different launch schedules.
This condition means that the availability of imported used iPhones tends to be greater than the products sold by iBox.
This phenomenon is also a factor that causes the difference between the Inter and iBox prices to be much cheaper than the iPhone iBox.
Different Product Safety Quality
From the seven differences between Inter and iBox products that have been mentioned, it can be concluded that the quality of the two products is clearly different.
Considering the seven facts mentioned above, it does not guarantee that iPhone Inter products are of better quality than iPhone iBox phones.
Inter's iPhone products are used goods originating from abroad. When used domestically, users will definitely encounter various problems.
Generally people buy Apple products because they want stronger data protection security.
Meanwhile, on iPhone Inter, users are even more at risk of data theft and other cyber crimes.
Apart from that, the security quality of Inter's iPhone products needs to be considered. Most of Inter's iPhones also do not have adequate IMEI.
If the cellphone does not have an IMEI registered in the country where it is marketed. Cell phone activities will be disrupted, cell phones will be vulnerable to being blocked, not just for receiving signals.
Of course, this is very different from the iPhone iBox which has guaranteed quality and IMEI. The goods sold by iBox are new products that have official permission from Apple.
Legality and Taxes
The legality of the inter iPhone can be questioned, especially if it does not go through an import process that complies with legal provisions. It is likely that the iPhone is an illegal item or does not meet SNI. In addition, the inter iPhone may not be subject to import tax, thus harming the country.
Meanwhile, on the iPhone iBox, Apple products enter Indonesia in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. So iPhone iBox buyers also contribute to state revenue.
Operating System Updates
Based on experience, until today the iPhone Inter that I use still gets the latest iOS update. But that's just luck, not with my friend's who was hit by bad luck.
After updating the system to the latest on iPhone 11 his, suddenly the device could not receive a signal.
It is not a matter of the hardware inside the phone being damaged but rather the iPhone being blocked.
Meanwhile, the similar phone used by my friend next still received the update safely. Despite updating the system, the device actually performed better.
That's brief information about the differences between iPhone Inter and iPhone iBox. Consider carefully before you decide to buy a product.
It's best not to be tempted by cheap prices, because cheap doesn't necessarily mean quality. Of course it would be useless if you bought a cheap iPhone if many of the phone's features were compromised, right?
