Caught by customs officials at the Luohu border crossing between Hong Kong and the mainland he was stopped after being noticed walking with an unusual stiffness and carrying bags. Although the bags contained nothing of note, the customs officials were curious about his stiff gait, and strip searched him - revealing the movement restricting corset made from Apple iPhones. There is a lucrative market in smuggling mobile phones between the two jurisdictions as tax rates on phones sold in Hong Kong are lower than on the mainland, leading to a profit opportunity. Also, the country's largest mobile network, China Mobile may not officially support the handset, but it is known that well over 10 million of them are being used on its network. Apple officially has a fairly small market share in China, but the smuggling is so high that it distorts the figures. In the recent financial results though, Apple noted a sharp fall in sales of its iPhones in China, which they admitted had them puzzled.[/QUOTE] links:[URL="http://www.cellular-news.com/story/61496.php?s=tw"]http://www.cellular-news.com/story/61496.php?s=tw[/URL]
If he just cut down on the number of iphones he had, he probably could have gotten through.
Why didnt he just hold them all in his butt
guys this is just a coverup it was just a prototype for phone bodyarmor, stolen from our US documents except we used NOKIA! take that you cheap chinese copies
If only he could have carried but three more.
If they tried to do that in an airport in the UK they'd get shot for wearing an explosive vest so quickly.
[QUOTE=The Rifleman;41828305]Why didnt he just hold them all in his butt[/QUOTE] It would be a real pain in the ass to get them all out.

He looks like some kind of hipster suicide bomber.
the six million dollar man is a lot less exciting than 70's tv led us to believe
This wouldn't be a problem if you could run multiple apps at once on iPhones.

that's like $40,000 worth of electronics

i'm surprised they caught him, i've been to that border a lot and it seems like most of the workers never give a shit
All I wanted was my phone call...
[QUOTE=locojaws;41832606]i'm surprised they caught him, i've been to that border a lot and it seems like most of the workers never give a shit[/QUOTE] That's probably why he was even trying with such a ridiculously obvious way of smuggling.
Jobs Akhbar

imagine if they were on vibrate and someone called ALL of those phones aweoesme

I thought he was trying to use them as phone body armour
