Apple shuts down iPhone clone sellers
Apple is getting sick of all the iPhone clones overseas and is beginning to crack down on sellers of the devices. It is known that the most clones are showing up in China, where Apple’s iPhone is too expensive for most of the consumers. For example, Apple has began to pursue legal action against such sellers as Digital Playworld. According to Playworld’s managing director, they had to remove all the clones from their website, promise to not sell any more clones, and tell Apple who supplied them with the products and how much was payed for them. This was done to avoid a harsh lawsuit against the company.
In their letter to the company, Apple stated that the clone “looks very like the iPhone.“ It appears that Apple has had enough and is no longer ignoring the issue. Hopefully these clones help Apple realize that they need to drop the price if they really want the phone to succeed. Despite all this, Apple has reported in its second quarter press release that 1,703,000 iPhones have been sold in this quarter.

Price complains once again. Don’t you get it? Fine products will always be more expensive than mediocre ones! That’s why you’ll never hear people complaining about Mercedes Benz highly priced vehicles, why? because everyone knows you get what you pay for.
