I think these cheap Chinese rip-off are bad for the electronics market and consumers. If your biggest concern is price when buying electronics, completely ignoring the fact of quality, care, and engineering you're contributing to decline of quality built electronics.
They don't do any of the hard engineering or go through meticulous testing and QA. They blatantly copy, and as such provide no innovation. Stop supporting this behavior, have some pride for the products you buy.
- Solinoid 10y agoI 100% agree with you, but I am still completely fascinated with articles that give us a glimpse into the underground wares of shenzhen. I'd love to see some photos of these supposed great clones of iPhones and high end Androids. All the ones I've seen for sale on grey market sites look pretty fake.
- nl 10y agoThe fake iWatch: The device looks a lot like an Apple Watch, but the functionality is a little bit different. Sure, it has a pedometer and a sleep tracker. If you pair it with your phone, it can act as a bluetooth speaker and microphone. What sets this device apart is what you’ll find when you pop off the battery cover and remove the tiny little battery. There’s a SIM slot and an SD card slot. If you drop a SIM into the watch, you can make calls and surf the web. If you drop an SD card into the SD slot, you can use the phone’s camera to shoot grainy, low-resolution photos from your wrist. The vendor assured us that the watch would last about 3 days on standby. So when Apple ships an iWatch with the ability to run standalone without an iPhone, remember "they blatantly copy, and as such provide no innovation"
- SmellyGeekBoy 10y agoI'd add the mini drones and MicroUSB / Lightning cable as well. Saying these people aren't innovative is really doing them a disservice.
