Another disgraceful PRC copy

Counterfeit Apple Stores Pop Up In China
Wednesday July 20, 2011 7:42 pm PDT by Jordan Golson
It's not just counterfeit iPads and iPhones that turn up in China. There are knockoff Apple Stores as well. The anonymous writer behind the BirdAbroad blog ran into a fake Apple Retail Store -- complete with wood floors, blue t-shirts and lanyards -- in Kunming, China.

It’s an Apple store!

Or is it?

RP and I went inside and poked around. They looked like Apple products. It looked like an Apple store. It had the classic Apple store winding staircase and weird upstairs sitting area. The employees were even wearing those blue t-shirts with the chunky Apple name tags around their necks...

Being the curious types that we are, we struck up some conversation with these salespeople who, hand to God, all genuinely think they work for Apple. I tried to imagine the training that they went to when they were hired, in which they were pitched some big speech about how they were working for this innovative, global company – when really they’re just filling the pockets of some shyster living in a prefab mansion outside the city by standing around a fake store disinterestedly selling what may or may not be actual Apple products that fell off the back of a truck somewhere.


The full blog post is a great read, with many details about the fake stores (plural!) she ran into. Her post has been covered extensively, but Apple has declined to comment about the fake stores.

PRC copy cat know no SHAME!

The iPad Is Now Bigger Than The Mac

Apple now makes money from the iPad than any other product except the iPhone.

Apple reported iPad revenues of $6.1 billion. That's behind only the iPhone, which took in $13.3 billion.

All Macs combined were only $5.1 billion.

Full stats are available on Apple's site.

Overall, iOS products made up more than 2/3ds of the company's revenue.

The company blew the doors off its Q3 earnings, and sold 9.25 million iPads -- ahead of the most optimistic "amateur" estimates of 8.4 million.



This goes to show that sammyboy is a obselete apple fanboy. The new generation of apple fanboy worship the iphone and ipad, both dislike by old fanboy. Notice he seldom step in to promote mac nowadays?

I've never "worshipped" any product. Any gadget, computer or otherwise, is simply a tool for achieving a specific goal. A computer put to productive use generates an income.

To those who can put their iPhones and iPads to add value to their endeavors, I congratulate them. However, my observation is that most of them use their iOS devices simply to muck around with apps which ultimately are nothing more than a pastime.

I'm still an advocate of Mac OS X. I own a Mac Pro, a Mac Mini, an iMac and a Macbook. I recently purchased an iPod touch specifically for my photography as it enables me to get model and property releases signed and stored remotely using an app called iRelease. It saves the trouble of having to bring paperwork to an assignment and then having to archive it in a physical location.

I don't have to promote Mac anymore. Anyone with half a brain now knows that it's superior compared to anything ever made by Microsoft.

As for my phone, I'm happy with my trusty Motorola razr. It has a battery life of almost a week and it makes calls in areas where iPhones can't connect. IPhone users often have to borrow my Motorola because they don't have sufficient signal strength to make an important call.

Fake Apple store in China creates Internet buzz

Photos of a fake Apple store in Kunming circulating in the Internet have added to China's reputation as a hub for imitation goods.

A recent blog post written by an American woman currently living in Kunming, China, said that fake Apple stores have started appearing in the area.

According to Apple's official website, the company does not have a store in Kunming.

The writer said that at first glance the store looked so real that it was hard to tell whether it was a fake or actually owned by Apple. It had a "shiny exterior with a big glowing, white Apple front and center."

The store itself had similar wooden tables, the winding staircase and concrete floors as if one were in a real Apple store. There were traditional though outdated branded posters and signs hanging on the walls.

According to the blogger, employees, with Apple employee identification cards hanging from lanyards, actually believe they work for Apple.

They assist customers in bright blue Apple T-shirts, complete with a clean white Apple logo across the chest.

The woman tried to take some photos of the store, but she was quickly approached by five employees asking her to stop, telling her that their boss prohibited photo-taking.

It was only after she hinted to them that she was an Apple employee from US paying a visit that they allowed her to take photos.

And after she left the store, the writer said, "a 10-minute walk around the corner revealed not one, but TWO more rip-off Apple stores."
