It is an iPhone 5 - or is it? It has the same iconic design. It almost feels as light. But then you look at the price tag - and here's something even Apple has never managed to achieve $200. It is a "true iPhone clone", as it has been helpfully named in shopping portals and comes for less than one-fourth the price of the original.
It's not just Apple products that have been ingeniously 'cloned'. Reproductions of the in-demand Samsung Galaxy line are also at hand. Made in China, websites ranging from the somewhat cheekily named Kaunsa.com to popular B2N site Indiamart.com are offering them, with a shipping period of only a few days.
The iPhone 5 32GB clone is Apple only on the surface. The screen of the "true clone" is a 4-inch OLED capacitive touchscreen that runs on iOS 5 while the Cupertino-based company's fastest-selling phone runs on the superior iOS 6 and has an LED-backlit LCD screen with retina display.
The true clone of the Samsung Galaxy S3 is more expensive than the true clone of iPhone 5 - $250, less than half the price of the original.
