VIDEO: This is how the Chinese make new iPhones from 2nd hand units

Heland Ortega

Have you ever seen an iPhone on sale with a price that’s too good to be true? It turns out we already know one of the reasons why they managed to sell it in low price. Watch the video below to see how they do the trick.

Disguised as a brand new unit, these second-hand units are re-packaged and carefully sealed complete with new accessories and stickers. What I could say to those manufacturers in the black market is that they are really getting better. So you need to be more keen in buying a ‘brand new’ iPhone because it can cause us consumers a lot more than we could ever imagine. Keep in mind that it is always safe to buy these handsets from authorized resellers instead of buying cheap iPhone that will only last in a short period of time.

The biggest highlight of the announcement is that Siri will be on the Mac, and it’s well integrated into your apps, notifications and of course, search. Additionally, users can also unlock Macs using an Apple Watch which comes in handy for mobile workers.

Apple Pay will soon be available for web payments in addition to using it on the App Store and via NFC. It also has a universal copy and paste feature that lets you doodle on an iPad and paste it straight to your Mac.

  • New Control Center – just swipe up to show different quick options.
  • New reply options to Messages and offers a new feature called Scribble that lets you quickly draw on the display to send to your contacts.
  • New Minnie Mouse watch face/change watch faces by swiping the screen.
  • SOS feature for emergencies, regardless of language. It automatically dials whatever is the equivalent of 911.
  • New Fitness Tracking App
  • Breathe app for breathing and relaxation
  • More 3rd Party App permissions

In addition to those, being open to third party developers makes the watchOS 3 capable of receiving new and more functions over time — giving users an added reason to invest on an Apple Watch.
