A fake iPhone can be calculated by seeing:

the back panel and removable battery not quite twisted by bolts.
the ability to support two or more SIM cards.
entrance for memory card.
the USB micro connector.
external, retractable antenna.
it is easy to fake the interface on the phone and copy fonts. But if there are no functions in the device: Siri or “determine the location of the iPhone” is definitely not the original.

OC (operating system) and other "bells and bog" in the iPhone 5:
