About a week before the expected presentation of the iPhone 14 (Pro), the first clones that copy the alleged design of the next iPhone generation have already appeared in China. Specifically, it’s about the Pro model and its new design elements – above all the changed “Notch” on the front, which is supposed to resemble a pill shape from the iPhone 14 Pro. The China clones are based on previous rumors. However, a design detail that was recently circulated is not taken into account.China clone considers almost all iPhone 14 Pro rumors
The iPhone clones can be seen in unboxing videos currently circulating on YouTube. At first glance, they look like real iPhones, but they are only cheap copies that cannot compete with the originals in terms of hardware or software. Only the optical appearance is based on the real iPhones. This includes, among other things, the likely larger camera cut-out on the back.
There is also an Android skin that looks like iOS. As usual from corresponding Android attachments, not only the look including widgets, but also the handling is emulated. The aim is to create an operating experience that is as realistic as possible, but still does not come close to the original.
Even the typical iPhone packaging, including plastic film, is based on the original – including the barcode, booklets, charging cable and other components that are typical of iPhone boxes.
Design of the “pill” notch not up to date (rumors).
The new pill-shaped notch on the display can also be seen. While the China clones have two separate elements for the front camera and face scanner, recent rumors speak of a slightly different arrangement. When the display is on, both elements should look like a single pill shape that belongs together. The small gap between the cutouts is not visible, according to a recent report by Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman.
