Truth about $216k ‘fake’ AirPods seizure

Опубликованно 15.09.2020 13:25

Chinese tech company OnePlus is known for their value-packed but hard to get smartphones, and recently introduced the OnePlus Buds wireless earbuds to complement its devices and ostensibly try and chip away at Apple’s dominant share of the market.

The company is selling the buds at $US79 ($A108), making the seized shipment worth $US158,000 ($A216,000).

The buds sure do look a lot like Apple’s AirPods, which were mocked when they first came out but are now arguably the quintessential design, easily recognised and frequently imitated, sometimes without even playing any sound.

OnePlus apparently took its imitation a little too far however, so much so that US customs officers thought they were importing counterfeits into the country.
