The original piracy dispute
It is reported that the Apple Peel 52 invented by these two brothers in China can upgrade the iPod Touch media player to an iPhone. Apple Peel 52 is a leather case containing a circuit board and a battery. As long as the iPod Touch media player puts it on and installs a software, it can be turned into an iPhone for making phone calls. Because Apple Peel 52 needs to hack into Apple's operating system to work, it can't be regarded as a pirated iPhone, Pan Lei, 25, argued.
"The two brothers who invented the apple peel may make Jobs very angry." Jonathan Hudis, head of the Trademark and Unfair Competition Group of the American Bar Association, said, "I don't think Apple will let it go, especially when the apple peel is ready to be shipped to the United States for sale." A spokesman for Apple's Hong Kong branch claimed that any tampering with the product was untenable. She said that Apple knew about the apple peel, but she declined to comment further.
We are very original
The derivative technology company has cooperated with Taobao, the largest online shopping website in China, to sell apple peels online at the price of RMB in 52 yuan.
In the United States, users who buy an iPhone must sign a two-year contract with the company, and during these two years, users must pay $99 for the iPhone S body and $39 for the monthly phone call. Together, the total cost of buying an iPhone is $19. The starting price of the iPod Touch is only $29, and if American users use the Apple Peel product with a price of $5, they can save at least $77.
"We are very original." Pan Lei said, "We won't get a Nokia phone, so we will be a pirated Nokia phone; Get an Apple phone, and make a pirated Apple phone. We will never do that. "
