Fake Apple Logo is Pulled to Prevent iLawsuit

Hooray! The most phenomenal fake Apple store has finally made their Apple branding vanish! The reason? We think Apple lodged a complaint with the local authorities.

We previously made an exclusive visit to the phenomenal fake Apple store in Zhongshan. The store features a massive glowing Apple logo on door entrances and they are selling real Apple products, plus offering jailbreaking services. Watch the video below to see the amazing look of the store.

Today, the Apple logo no longer exists.

We believe the Chinese city of Zhongshan ordered the unauthorized Apple vendor to cease using the Apple trademarks after we have uncovered the store’s cunning plan. Actually, the store has previously removed the “leaf” from the Apple logo to prevent facing legal troubles.

However, the act of removing the “leaf” from the Apple logo is a “rude manner”. And we hate to see the gorgeous Apple logo being treated as a marketing tool to draw more attention to one’s business. So, Apple is not happy too, and that’s why the store is forced to pull down the logo before things get more serious. Looking at this situation, we believe Apple is really doing something to punish the Chinese counterfeiters.

    should have tried harder, as apple is still their supplier, they should have been cut the supply chain from apple, so, they wouldn’t have been selling any apple products.

    If this Zhongshan store had used the Apple logo on a figurine instead I wonder if you’d still say they were “rudely” using the Apple logo as a marketing tool.
