The Chinese iPhone: Another Example of Chinese Inventiveness
An Apple iPhone must be at the top of the top of every teenagers shopping list. The Apple iPhone is still at a high price due to it being a new item. It is not likely to lower its price quickly, as its very popular at the moment. It may become necessary for those who want to own an iPhone, to look for alternatives such as a Chinese iPhone.
Matching US Skills
The Chinese iPhone is just another example of how the Chinese have progressed in the consumer electronics. China has, for a long time, been making cheap US type products. Now it has now gone a step further and entered into producing alternatives to the popular top selling products. The fact that the Chinese iPhone is good enough to be compared to the original model, is somewhat a surprize, for a country that is known for mass production of low quality products.
It is possible to get a Chinese iPhone for a lot less that the original and also save on the monthly costs. Among the different versions of these Chinese clones, the CECT P168 looks very similar to the original Apple iPhone. It takes a very close inspection to realize that it is actually, a Chinese iPhone and not the original version.
With this Chinese iPhone, you can use any phone carrier and it also has two Sim slots. It also has more speakers than are found in the original iPhone, and also a removable battery, something that is needed in the original iPhone. Over all, the quality of the product is excellent which is testament to the Chinese being able to produce an item so close to the original model. Only time will tell if it has an effect on the apple version. My best guess is that apple will come out new versions to supercede this version and the Chinese will follow.
The Chinese iPhone is an alternative that should be explored with caution. Due to possible lack of support, and any quality or software issues, may not be easily resolved. The Chinese “copy cat” problem is something that the US and many countries around the world have to deal with, especially if it is done without infringement of trademarks. It’s whether its worth chasing the legal action to solve it or its simply better spend on building the new models which are better than the copies.
