Do you know the difference between a regulatory machine and a retail machine? Regulators and retail machines start with M, regardless of appearance, configuration, hardware, functions, or even model numbers. The only difference between them is that the configuration lock of the supervisor is in the open state, and the configuration lock of the retailer is in the closed state. Therefore, many merchants sell regulatory machines as retail machines! Normally, novices can’t find it!
However, the supervisor has many disadvantages, because most supervisors are machines that rent platforms. The platform can use configuration locks to restrict iPhone 6, such as restricting functions, erasing iPhones, anti-locking iPhones, etc. Therefore, the price of a regulatory machine is several thousand cheaper than a retail machine. For example, the iPhone 14 Pro retail machine may cost 8,000 yuan. But the iPhone 14 Pro regulator may only cost 6,000 yuan. If you accidentally buy a regulatory machine, you have to bear the risk of the machine being locked. If the machine is locked, it cannot be bypassed or released, and it can only be sold as accessories, so the regulatory machine cannot be bought! There are many cases of netizens who mistakenly buy regulatory machines as retail machines and are locked later.
How to determine whether the machine is a supervisor? We need to query the configuration lock. If the configuration lock is turned on, it is the supervisory machine. For example, this iPhone14Pro is a regulatory machine. If the configuration lock is closed, it is a normal retail machine.
Many young people rent machines on major platforms and then sell them to merchants. If you are a merchant, you must query the configuration lock when recycling the machine. If you are an individual, you must not buy machines of unknown origin. If you have the conditions, you must also check the configuration lock. Avoid buying regulatory machines!
