Just file this one alongside that city with the fake Eiffel Tower they have over there. And the fake Arc de Triomphe, and the fake Washington Monument, etc.

Boo now I'm even more upset I can't see videos at work
They choose the correct way. Face ID in my 13 pro max sucks in sunny days.
But apple is obstinate. They will stick with Face ID even being worse.
Was great when launched but now have no sense IMO
I wish they can use under display sensors…
Good thing its running wrong OS on pirate device.
Can just send an update to brick said pirate device.
I thought you were referring to Las Vegas there for a minute. I guess that's different though?
Still. It always looks better when they reveal it and on their site. 😂
It’s China’s revenge because so many people in the west ripped off kung fu and made kung fu clones.
Lets be honest though, within China all anyone needs is a handset than runs WeChat and then pretty much everything else (games / Money transfers / calls / messaging / etc...) all happen within the WeChat app so there is minimal need for a device that does anything further.
If its cheap and works, excellent, good for them, their choice-their money.

You only need to go to Las Vegas for examples of the first two! (Is there a fake Washington Monument in LV?)
This is what happens when you make your products in China - they sign any and all NDAs etc. to get your business (to make money) and then just violate those agreements and copy all your hard work (to make even more money). This should be of no surprise to anybody these days. I wonder if you factored in all the lost revenue due to their capitalizing on your IP if it really ends up being worth making your stuff in China in the first place... I'm guessing that apparently it is worth it. If there's one thing Apple know how to do it's extracting the maximum amount of money from it's customers - I'm guessing they've done the numbers and it's cheaper to still make everything in China.

Wait a minute, I never saw a fake Washington Monument next to the Bellagio Hotel when I was in Las Vegas 20 years ago. Oh, you meant the other, less famous city with the fakes landmarks.
Gawd, Vegas was my favorite place to take pictures. Day or night, indoors or outdoors, there was always something worth photographing.
Well, I would substitute India, Mexico, and the Far East for China. Not just Apple but most all electronics manufacturers run the numbers and find they can not profitably manufacture in the US.
I find those funny. When I was a kid my dad travelled over there for work and got my brother and I fake Rolex watches. I thought those were funny too.
