It can be difficult to find famous international brands on AliExpress. That's why you can't find Apple iPhones here. Many people think so, but I was too surprised to find several models on iPhones on the website. I solved to read more about the good to understand weather to buy it.
Risks
There are some risks you should know in advance. But you may purchase the original iPhone on AliExpress easily.
You may find new models, but most part of them were used before or refurbished. So, the smartphones were repaired. The models can also have some problems. The manufacturer solved to stop selling it because of it. But Chinese are ready to repair the phones and sell it. The price is not so high.

I feel I must inform you about all the features and problems. So, let's start with disadvantages of the Chinese iPhones, which are original, but after repair.
Cons of the refurbished iPhones
- some details can be used not from the Apple company
- charging, headphones and box are unlikely to be original

As for other features, that can be a common iPhone with iOS. Sellers are interested to give you a quality good. So, the chance to get a defective smartphone is about 2% only. If you face with the problem, you should follow the policy of AliExpress. Show the evidence and get the refund.
