I’m the kind of guy who roots for the underdog. Sure, the real iPhone is pretty great. But I’m just as happy to see a clever manufacturer pull one over on us all and sell me an iClone on the cheap.

Hold that power button and you’ll see the Apple logo flicker for a moment. See? Real iPhone! Or at least, decent iClone! That is, until you open it to replace the battery:

The only thing worse would be if we saw a miniature hamster on a wheel inside. In case you’re interested in what a real iPhone looks like when its guts are spilled on the table, check it out here.
