Why would you go through the pain of all this, just make the copy of the case and mimic the software UI - underneath it can be all of your custom hardware and software. No need to bother Apple. This is how most of the fake iPhones are made in China.

On second thought I wonder if it was a geiger counter that can secretly phone home and report data when connected to the Internet when the user adds music. Get into the Apple supply chain and make sure they end up in Apple stores near your "targets". That's exactly why it would need to be undetectable.

- pritovido 6y agoBecause it takes tens of millions of dollars to replicate the functionality of the Ipod-Iphone. Chinese do it in a completely different way, using prefabricated components. Secret services can not use prefabricated Chinese components because those need to be audited and that cost millions too. So using already made American companies components' is the obvious solution. It just cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
