I talked with some various TPG employees on the topic of counterfeit detection. I would not say anything of the sort unless the assertion was true. I was quite surprised myself, so I asked around more to verify the info. It is as stated.
So you're saying these TPG slabs are the same as i Phones? The real ones and the fake ones are made in the same factory by the same under aged... ah nevermind.
I do not know. The Chinese have the ability to copy anything even if they don’t have the contracts for the slabs, so it is impossible to say if the same factory is leaking “fake” slabs to the world. There is a wide variance in the quality of counterfeit holders, which implies that many counterfeit slabs are not from the source factory
