it was with replicas that weighted the same as the original

ah that's exactly what I'm trying to do.  Okay if that didn't work for you then it probably won't for me either.  Did you try disputing with your CC or PayPal if you used it?

no, just took the loss because we were willing to pay for the phones anyways for personal use. maybe a bank dispute would work with amazon but it's not worth the hassle and risk imo

What risk? If you prove the iphone is fake then there's no risk at all
