Kunming Fake Apple Store Changes Its Name to “Smart Store” (updated)

We know the “legendary” fake Apple store in Kunming is trying their best to look similar to an Apple Store, and at the same time, they are trying to pass themselves off as an Apple Store. Recently, we see something different at the store. They have changed their store name to “Smart Store”. The glowing Apple logo is still there, but other fake Apple stores in Kunming have pulled down the Apple logo. So, some fake Apple stores are still not afraid of Apple’s legal team, while some are trying to stay low key. Interesting. More shots after the break! Updated, more pics, and there’s one called “iParty”.

The iParty store is NOT located in Kunming.

    good case to show that Micgadget should use a transparent watermark instead of that security print they are using, makes it hard to really see what we are looking for in those pics with the print in the way. but just a thought. good work :)
