This is simply amazing. Popular Science reports that cloning operations in China have already created a fake copy of the Apple iPhone.

“The country’s ability to produce indistinguishable replicas of any moment’s must-have item is legendary: Manufacturers have serviced knockoff air conditioners as if they were their own; stores have refunded bootleg purses without batting an eye. Perhaps the only thing trumping the clones’ quality is their speed. The hotter the product, the quicker the bootleg.”
