As quickly as gadgets evolve, their knock-offs do, too. Take a gander at some of the new counterfeit iPhones, which sport an uncanny resemblance to Apple’s proud creation.
iPhone knock-offs have come a long way in a short amount of time. Compare the image at top of a new iPhone clone to the image below of a HiPhone, a shoddy counterfeit iPhone we regretfully purchased in November. The older one is obviously fake even to those who don’t own an iPhone. But the new copycat looks pretty impressive, doesn’t it?
New iPhone knock-offs are making their way onto eBay and Craigslist, reports Cult of Mac’s Leander Kahney. And they look so close to the real thing that the only warning sign is when the price is too good to be true.
MacMedics posted a video featuring a fake iPhone that a client purchased off eBay. Check it out below the jump.
