How a Chinese woman tried to smuggle over a hundred iPhones

China may be different than much of the world, but it has something common with every corner of the globe – namely, high prices of iPhones. Chinese methods of bypassing this issue are also similiar to those of the rest of the world – they smuggle them. One of those would-be smugglers was a Chinese woman that recently got caught during a customs control while on her way out of Hong Kong. Guards have found on her not one, not two but 102 iPhones, along with fifteen luxurious watches, all of which she neatly strapped to her body. Whole package weighted over fourty four pounds and was worth tens of thousands of dollars.

Reportedly, it is not rare to find people try to smuggle electronics out of Hong Kong, as this kind of items are much cheaper there than in the rest of China. Record so far has been set by a man who attempted to steal 142 iPhones in a style similiar to the woman.
