It was only a matter of time, but what is surprising this time round is that the Chinese fakers didn’t wait around for the original iPhone 5 to be released.
GizChinaa a Chinese gadget blog reports the impatient Shenzhen guys have jumped the gun again and already launched an iPhone 5 clone!
“It’s not the most awe inspiring clone, to us at least, we’ve seen and, but it does look to follow the shape those leaked iPhone 5 case designs pointed at.
The body is a very thin, 7mm!!! black plastic affair with the usual iPhoney cameras, LED flash, plus controls for power and volume.
The rear of the iPhone 5 knock off states its a 64Gb model, something which we highly doubt, and also has all the FCC and safety markings you would expect on a real Apple product, only in this case they mean absolutely nothing!”
For $108 you get also get a JAVA based OS, MP3 and MP$ playback and WI-Fi.
Are the fakers onto something? Is this the form factor of the iPhone 5?
