TV antenna/tuner ???
Wow, a TV antenna and associated tuner would be pretty sweet though. I wonder if Apple has thought along those lines yet?

Some clones are so bad they make you angry; this one goes beyond that and you just have to laugh. "Hang on, let me check my mensagens..."
This is disgusting. I would make my devices absolutely NOT capable of functioning in ANY country that does not enforce copyright and patent laws.
As a matter of fact, we shouldn't export to any such nation, PERIOD! It's damning sales within itself! It would be like shipping one Krabby Patty out along with the secret formula. You'd never get another order because there'd be 50,000 places popping up with names like "Krusty-roo Kuhraboru" or "Klusty Klab" or "Xiao Ming Di Cho" selling rip-offs.
&$%# copyright infringement and anybody who allows it!

your plan might be a little difficult to enforce - the real iphones are manufactured in just such a country
No headphone jack...
It would be no more than logical to have some headphones on this thing, considering it wants to be all the iPhone is, and more. Apparently that fell by the wayside between the pull-out antenna and the "special circular Wuli button made a small hole, which only enhanced voice call effect" (thanks Google translate) and is noted in the conclusion of the in-depth review as one of its shortcomings: "2, the lack of support on the 3.5mm headphone jack"
Yeah, I'll say.

is that a stylus or an antenna? in the second image it's coming out of the bottom near the home button....
The quality looks crappy, indeed. And it says a lot if you can see that on a photo. Look at that home button: It almost appears to be glued on the surface!
The irony, however, is that the real iPhone is manufactured in the same country. As are all Apple products. An outrage if you think about how much we pay for them.

More like "Americanu Cuh-rone-roo of SheePeeEsh uhphone-oo we finderoo!!!" *commits samurai suicide*
XD
It's sad how their view of the world could be so warped. I mean, they can be made to believe they originally made the iPhone, Turkish Star War, and Indian Thriller. However we have PROVEN facts that the origins of these all are AMERICA.
Reminds me of religion...throw out the facts and substitute with whatever helps you sleep at night.
Funny that all titles are in Portuguese; this fake device is probably coming from Macao.
you guys do realize the price of this phone is probably 1/6 the price of an unlocked iphone, has removable battery and usb interface, among other things.
true, this phone is aimed at the asian market, and it's not because asians "desire something cool and western, yet could never afford an real iphone in their lifetime" but because the need is different.
and hell, what difference does it make owning a counterfeit iphone and a jailbroken one? it looks like an iphone, feels like an iphone, works like an iphone, but hey this one comes with Cydia! what's more laughable is that when u boot the phone up a pineapple icon appears instead of an apple.
just my $0.02

Allowed by whom? The Chinese government? When did they start caring about international patent law?
I think you answered your own question!
easy on the stereotypes, mr cheeto;
people all over the world just trying to make a living.
