After the Chinese copy of the iPhone 5s comes the Japanese copy of the iPhone 5c: the ioPhone 5, yours for $150. While the exterior appears to be a halfway-reasonable clone (the fit of the buttons aside …), inside it’s as crappy as a cheap Android handset can get: 480×854-pixel display, 512MB RAM, 4GB of storage and a 2MP camera.
Iosys also hasn’t quite reached Apple standard with the video ad it created to promote the handset. I like the spinning chair the best.
Thanks, CNET

I love how you can see that most of them are just empty shells through the camera lens.

This is a Japanese company, not Chinese.

Edit: I’m an idiot and just misread your article. The Chinese lead-in messed with me. Sorry.
No worries :-)
