Chinese firm mass-producing fake iPhones busted

 

  Police in China have cracked down on a Beijing-based company which allegedly made more than 40,000 fake Apple iPhones worth about $19.6 million, a media report said. 

Police said they arrested nine suspects and found six assembly lines and more than one million cell phone parts in the company's factory, Xinhua reported. 
 Officials said the company bought old phone mainboards 
  from other countries and fake    parts with logos from the
 city of Shenzhen.

Police started investigating the company in May after fake China-made cell phones were seized in the US. 

Officials said the company bought old phone mainboards from other countries and fake parts with logos from the city of Shenzhen. 

The company hired hundreds of workers who assembled the parts and then sold the fake phones to other countries, police said.
