I Found Some Fake iPhones at the Mall

I went to the mall in Cuenca yesterday and happened to come across some iPhone imitators.  First I walked through a “computer fair” that was going on in the mall conference center.  The fair was basically people just trying to sell computers, or displaying stuff they sold elsewhere.

I found this box, which was clearly fake.  It just says “3G” on the side in small print.  If you look closely, the cover of the box also shows a stylus.  Lameeeeeee.

Then I walked past one of the actual stores in the mall and saw these two boxes on display.  I think it’s even funnier how the actual phones (on display in front of the boxes) look absolutely noting like the pictures on the boxes.  Also these are crazy cheap compared to the real iPhone here.  The 8GB is sold for $799 and the 16GB is sold for $899.  They’re that expensive because they’re sold without a service contract, you just buy the phone and then their pay as you go.
