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.

Win HD LTE, Liquid M330, Blu Win Jr LTE, 640XL, 650, 950 as well as Liquid Jade Primo have already been removed. So… good? Bad? Let me know what you think.
