Iphone charger (UAE) lost

mylittlepony

Got an Iphone present from Dubai but my mom had already opened while there and when it got to me, its missing a charger.
I took it 02 and they dont sell the charger as its a different size.
I tired ebay and they are charger but mostly USA not from UAE the charger end that go into phone is really small as wide as my little fingernail (female).

So what size is that?
My other option is pick a supplier off ebay and explain and hopefully they know what the size of this charger is.
Finger crossed it work out.

Any help tips from here welcome.

Every iPod/iPhone uses the standard apple connection.
Apple sell the region specific plug and cable with each phone.

You need to buy yourself THIS and maybe a new usb -> apple connector too.

Do you have a cable like this?



If so, you can charge the iPhone from any computer.

You can also use the above cable with the gadget linked in Victor_M's post above to plug it into the wall socket.

I have the UAE power adaptor with the two points and convertor to attach that to a three points to the wall socket but missing the cable to connect phone and adaptor.
The cable in your pic with Iphone end looks too wide to me.
Mine is much smaller as wide my little findernail.
Would a pic help?

It would, because that's a standard cable used by all iPhones.

So you should be able to purchase an Irish power adapter, with the above cable and use it in any iPhone.

That is assuming what you have is a genuine iPhone.

My mom friend bought the exact Iphone for herself and its working fine.
I could wait and borrow her charger.
Or is there a battery charger for the Ipone, just to charge battery out of the phone.

How do I know that its fake?

Pics will be uploaded soon.

Have you tried removing the battery from the iPhone?

Because you can't. It's sealed.

Does it look something like this:



(a few of the icons might be a little different)

Also, what does it say on the back of the phone? Does it look like this:

Argh nooo! :eek::(

Yes the box very similar, the back of Iphone exact same and yes I can remove battery and it even came with a spare one.

Her pic:





Ah well ,bad luck.

iPhoney.

Just Googling the FCC ID on the back of your model and I get this:

It's a fake all right, but I have to say I am intrigued by the advertised "Gravity Inducer".

mylittlepony

All the ID numbers on the back of my Iphoney is exact same numbers as the Gold Iphoney.
Is that where it came from?
Is it workable? Like a normal functioning mobile fone? text message, pics etc basic stuff?

What about the Ipod, how do I know that mom's is fake too?
I will try it out tonight.

Creamy Goodness

the back is a good bit different,

the "iPhone" font is off.

the "designed by Apple in California" is "designed by Bennett in Japan"

the box also doesn't have the standard apple icons for photos, camera and calculator.

sorry dude

It probably is.

Just don't hook it up to iTunes.

mylittlepony

What would happen?
I dont use itune anyway.

Where can I find a Europe supplier to buy just the cable for my Iphoney if possible.
I tried Ebay and google and fox no luck.
Ebay seller know where to buy these iphoney but i cant find them i only need a cable.
Can anyone help?
