    Even a close look might not be able to distinguish it from a genuine iPhone 4

The Chinese are at it again. Just as the first batch of iPhone 4s are being shipped, assembly lines in Shenzen have already started churning out exact replicas of Apple's latest poster child by the hundreds.



Barely weeks since the official announcement of the iPhone 4, they have managed to build an exact replica of it which has been christened the ePhone 4GS.




Unlike most other knock-offs, this one excels in attention to detail. While the materials used might be cheap plastic, even up close one might not be able to distinguish it from a genuine iPhone 4. That's until you power up the phone and the low resolution "non retina" display lights up!



The device that has been photographed is apparently a prototype (even fakes have them!) and the manufacturer seems to have not decided where the all-important half bitten Apple logo should go. There is a 16GB label and the word "iPhone" at the rear. However, at this moment, there is no way to discern if it's just graffiti or if the phone really packs in 16Gigs in there. The device also has front and rear cameras.


If you live somewhere in China, this one can be yours for as little as $85. Go figure!

How come no copywrite laws in China to protect all the genuine brands and manufacturers ? They break all the rules and regulations and gets away with them....
