IDEVICE RUMORS

Apparently, Chinese consumers either can’t wait for the upcoming iPhone 5 or don’t realize that it hasn’t been released yet. Knock-offs of Apple’s soon-to-be-released smartphone have already begun showing up in China.

This particular ‘iPhone 5’ is being sold for $108 USD with a JAVA based OS, MP3 and MP4 playback and Wi-Fi,” reports Arnold Kim on MacRumors. “The images show a tapered edge design similar to the leaked case designs, though it’s not exact. This ‘iPhone 5’ doesn’t have the mute switch moved to the opposite side as seen on the case designs. It also retains the usual look of the home button rather than an elongated design.”

The real iPhone 5’s release date isn’t set in stone yet, but recent reports have suggested either a late-September or early-October launch for the fifth-generation phone. Prior to the iPhone 4’s release last year, Chinese counterfeiters tried to sell fake versions of that device, too.

“The body of the device is only 7mm thick while the iPhone 4 comes in at 9.3mm,” Kim continues. “The device is indeed being called an ‘iPhone 5’ in its sales material, which we tracked back to Chinese online store Taobao.”
