First of all, make sure it has the Apple logo on the back of the phone and the logo is nearly flush. Many of the fake are clearly recessed as shown above.
The logo should also be less reflective and a little darker than a mirror. If it has a mirror finish, it's probably fake.

Next, if you have a box with your phone, look at the top. The authentic iPhones do not have a phone pic on top. If it does, it's fake.
Also notice the raised, embossed phone outline on top of the real box. That line should be distinct and of good quality like the one above.

Another thing to look for, if you have a box is the specs on the bottom of the box. The layout needs to be like the real one above.
Notice the space between the top and the "64GB" on the fake one above.

Next, Connect to iTunes. If you connect it to iTunes and it doesn't show anything or you're receiving an error, it means iTunes does not recognize your phone. It's a fake.

And last, check your serial number with Apple.
On the phone, go to "Settings," then choose "General," and then click on "About." This will give you the serial number. You can then access the Apple website, where you can enter your iPhone serial number to see if it is a real iPhone.
