Quick answer: Do not assume Apple's Find My network or Find My iPhone service works on a copy device. Before buying, identify the actual account and location services available on the phone.
What to verify
- Which account system the device uses.
- Whether a device-location feature is provided.
- Whether location can be checked from another device.
- Whether the feature remains active after restart.
- What happens if the phone is lost or reset.
For theft or loss protection, the important issue is not the iPhone-style appearance but the real recovery tools supported by the supplied software.
