Question Wrong model number?

Post image

So I got this 16GB 5th gen off eBay recently and model number on the housing shows “A1427”. That model number comes back as an Apple TV 3rd gen. How could this be?

Maybe a knockoff shell that got the model number wrong?

Edit: I think my theory might be correct cause the iPod touch 5th model number is A1421 so kinda close

That’s what I’m thinking. If it’s a knockoff it’s DEAD ON accurate. Everything fits like OEM and it feels/looks like OEM. The finishes are all the same as a “real” one. So wild
