Looks like the iPhone is doing really well in China, or is it? Apparently not, as what you probably see there is the Aifung handset that looks just like the real McCoy. According to a shop owner carrying Aifung handsets, "the knockoff iPhones are produced in batches of 1,000 at a factory in Shenzhen, China". These handsets retail for approximately $270 after conversion, which is not far from the $299 price point of the 4GB iPhone. It is said that the innards aren't hard to duplicate, but the design and exterior are the tricky parts. News like this causes us to be more wary about picking up what is perceived to be a dirt cheap cellphone over eBay or other online sites. Best get your iPhone from an Apple Store or AT&T, I say.
