What looks like an Apple store, smells like an Apple store, has Apple-like products, but isn’t an Apple store? It’s your fake Apple store now debuting in China! Surprised? I didn’t think so. On July 19, Apple reported earnings of $7.31 billion in the third quarter, more than double what the company earned in the year-earlier period. The company sold more than 20 million iPhones and 9.25 million iPads in the quarter, but I’m sure that very few of them were in China since China is so well-known for fakes, but this takes a fake to new heights…or lows.

The fake apple store is atleast selling real apple products! 🙂
But why do they do this? The store looks pretty decent, why not be an original re-seller?
Even if they have billions they still work on ripping off. Check out http://www.baidu.com.

I am absolutely shocked about the boldness of such a store although I am not surprised. It seems like ethics matter little to those that commit forgery.
