iPhone-urile false sunt extrem de cautate in China, in special din cauza pretului de vanzare foarte mic, experienta de utilizare contand mai putin cand ai in mana un dispozitiv care arata precum un iPhone. Din pacate foarte multe dispozitive contrafacute ies din China si ajung in lumea larga, politistii dintr-un mall din Maryland confiscand cateva zeci de terminale de acest gen. Separat de iPhone-urile contrafacute, politia a confiscat inclusiv cateva sute de accesorii Apple contrafacute, valoarea totala a capturii fiind de 900.000$.
Officers said they raided the Cyberion store and the ST Tech Pros kiosk last Friday and recovered hundreds of fake Apple products that were being sold as authentic factory replacements.”These organizations that make these products are using substandard materials. They are doing everything they can to make them look like the real thing,” said Greg Shipley with the Maryland State Police. The items recovered included iPhones and the colored fronts and backings that go with them, cellphone conversion kits, iPhone and iPad covers, Apple product ID stickers, iPad replacement screens and various internal iPhone parts. Detectives also found packaging materials, equipment used to design and print those materials and computer equipment believed to be used to clone phones.
Politistii au colaborat cu Apple pentru a stabili autenticitatea produselor comercializate la chioscul de la care au fost confiscate toate produsele, iar pe viitor probabil interventii de acest gen vor fi facute si in alte locatii.
