Photo Comparison: Fake IQOS 3.0 DUO vs Genuine IQOS 3.0
Counterfeit IQOS products have been circulating on the market. This photo comparison highlights the differences between fake and genuine IQOS 3.0 DUO devices, including both the charger and holder.
There have long been reports of fake IQOS products on the market. I had only seen counterfeit charging cases before, but not fake holders. A few days ago I finally came across one, so today I took some photos to show everyone.

If you only look at the exterior, it is basically impossible to tell whether it is genuine or fake (it is said that the makers of high-quality counterfeits have obtained the shell mold). You have to check the internal motherboard to identify it.
As you can see from the photos, the yellow area around the holder’s power button is round on the fake, while it is square on the genuine one. Even some of the chips are different, and the battery has no code. I won’t go into the other differences. I just want to remind everyone to be careful when buying—don’t pay genuine-product prices and end up with a counterfeit!
