In Oregon, the United States, two foreign students from China were accused in a federal court, and the charges were not trivial.

At the beginning of 2017, these two students smuggled thousands of imitations of iPhones from China to the United States, and got them to Apple to claim that they could not boot up. Most of the time, Apple did fall for them and replaced them with new iPhones（ It should be the official version ）。 Apple reportedly lost $890000, or about 5.9 million yuan.

Yangyang Zhou， A student of Oregon State University who just obtained an engineering degree is the main person in charge of smuggling counterfeit iPhones into the United States and sending the replaced real iPhones back to China. Quan Jiang， Lynn Benton Community University student, who is mainly helping Yangyang Zhou to use online repair or go to the physical store to request a new iPhone.

After the new iPhone is sent back to China and sold, the stolen money will be put into Quan Jiang's mother's account, and then she will put the money into her son's account in the United States for his use.

However, the two Chinese students said that they did not know that the iPhones were fake. At present, they have been detained. Yangyang Zhou was accused of illegal transportation of goods, and Quan Jiang was accused of illegal transportation of counterfeit goods and e-mail fraud.

Quan Jiang submitted 3069 replacement applications to Apple, and Apple agreed to 1493 of them. If an iPhone costs 600 dollars, Apple lost nearly 900000 dollars.

However, it is very curious how realistic these imitated iPhones are, so that experienced Apple store staff will be cheated, and does Apple have no relevant inspection mechanism?
