Although Apple only released iPhone 4s, an upgraded version of the current iPhone 4, there has already been the long-awaited iPhone 5 for sale in China. Several online stores in China offer the die-hard Apple fans the opportunity to purchase the latest iPhone 5, a smartphone that officially does not exist.

The fake iPhone could be found on one of China’s leading online market Taobao.com, which has more than 370 million registered users. The price is around 23 euros.

The Chinese passion for Apple products will lead to many imitations. Earlier it was known that even the whole Apple stores were copied. Employees of these stores even really thought they were working for the American group.

Apple currently has five official stores in China: two in Beijing and three in Shanghai. Also some other Chinese stores are authorized to offer Apple products.
