Apple uses hidden watermarks on iPhone 15 boxes to verify authenticity

Extra precautions have been taken for iPhone 15 boxes that give retail employees and buyers a new way to verify the device is real — but you'll need a UV light.
The video shows someone shining a UV light on the iPhone 15 box to reveal watermarks and a QR code that helps verify device authenticity.
Still hidden outside of the visible light spectrum.
Makes counterfeiting just a bit more difficult. Like when money started having this. Where I lived getting one of these uv flashlight to check notes was very common back then.
