According to Reuters, police uncovered a counterfeit operation that produced “more than 41,000” fake iPhones that were being produced in a factory. The phones had an estimated value of around RMB120 million ($19 million).

The factory, which according to the report was run under the disguise of a “gadget maintenance shop”, was raided in May. It was set up in January and was run by a husband and wife team alongside “hundreds” of workers. During the raid, which took place on May 14, police also seized 1,400 handsets and accessories that were being repackaged for export.
