FAKE CHINESE APPLE STORE

Posted by Mike Rigby

As you may have seen. An American blogger living in China was shocked to find that an Apple store had opened in her tiny village. She entered to have a look around and upon closer inspection discovered that it was in fact “…a beautiful ripoff — a brilliant one — the best ripoff we had ever seen (and we see them every day here).  But some things were just not right: the stairs were poorly made.  The walls hadn’t been painted properly.  Apple never writes “Apple Store” on its signs…”

Perhaps the most amazing thing – even the staff thought that they worked for a legitimate Apple store. Get the full story here.

  1. Presumably it’s selling the real Apple products then?

    When I first heard about this I figured it’d be some kind of elaborate setup for selling the likes of these little beauties…
