Fake iPads


Everyday, new shipments of fake iPads are coming to Shanghai, Shenzhen and Beijing. These shipments are the imitations of iPad or not original iPads. There are rumors and speculations that these fake devices came from United States. These items are delivered to China to be sold in certain prices.

After the announcement of Apple that they would be delaying its international distribution due to its scarcity of supplies, it opens an opportunity for Chinese markets to flood their imitated iPads, which are believed to be smuggled devices from the US.

Fake iPads were marketed on the shelves of online and real-world shops in China. In fact, they have been for sale in some electronics markets. They have sold more than 500,000 in its first week of release.

The iPad imitations have lower prices than the original iPads, however they have great similarities. Imitated iPads really resembles the original ones. In fact, they have the same appearance, but they do not have all the features of iPad.

Chinese become interested in purchasing these iPads, although they knew that these are not the authentic ones for the reason that they would also like to experience the innovative features of iPad. Since iPad has not been completely released at all areas in China, some Chinese tent to purchase the imitated iPads.

Apple was alarmed regarding the issue of Fake iPads' distribution. Of course, they would not be glad if their products were imitated by some people. Of course, they could not avoid the fact that there are people who could not determine if the one they bought are authentic or not. When they will experience gradual damages on their iPads, they would surely blame the Apple. This worst situation could definitely destroy Apple's good reputation.

This huge distribution of fake iPads may continue for a long time. But sad to say, it would be very difficult for the Apple to control this unlawful concern because the people who are manufacturing these products are very hard to identify.
