Chances are at this moment you can already buy hundreds of ‘counterfeit’ models at AliExpress. ‘Counterfeit’ as again chances are these have just as much of a license from Apple as these, none.
- wellthisisgreat 4y agoI’d be really curious to read an HN-level apology of the Aliexpress counterfeiting. Not implying you’re advocating for it, just wondering if someone would read this comment and feel compelled / know of a good pro-Aliexpress knockoff culture / industry. Well except for “it feeds people in China / gets consumers cheaper products”. I mean anything that goes past that, in ethics also.
