Fake iPhones went on sale as soon as Apple announced the original device. We show you a few examples.
Kent German
Kent was a senior managing editor at CNET News. A veteran of CNET since 2003, he reviewed the first iPhone and worked in both the London and San Francisco offices. When not working, he's planning his next vacation, walking his dog or watching planes land at the airport (yes, really).
Though this store may say it's an iPhone, the presence of Talk and End keys below the display give it away as a fake. It's certainly not worth the 185 euro ($272) price tag.
This iFauxne even had the Apple Logo and "Designed by Apple in California" on its back side. But a trained eye will notice the odd speakers at the bottom.
