Counterfeit iPhone 3Gs Becoming More Convincing at First Glance

Apple service provider MacMedics recently had the opportunity to examine a counterfeit iPhone 3G purchased by a customer off of eBay. The packaging and external appearance of the device appear convincingly genuine at first glance, demonstrating increasing sophistication from such counterfeiters.

The software, however, is the difficult part to imitate, and this is where the counterfeit iPhone falls flat. See the video for a complete walkthrough of the device.

It needs an " S⃣ " that way it can be faster. I really like all of the awesome iPhone knock-off accessaries that come with it.

As for me I'll just stick with my actual iPhone 3g S⃣ :cool:

Who actually buys these things?

People who think they are real or people who wanna look cool but spend less?
