There have been some particularly cheeky iPhone knockoffs, but this one is pretty entertaining. It was slowly, teasingly revealed to a mostly sarcastic crowd at 4chan with a pretty big plot twist. At any rate, it’s a fun detraction from the deluge of iPhone 5S and 5C leaks.
Like all knockoffs, this one has an almost-but-not-quite the same name as the original product. So, here’s the iploxe.
It’s an Android phone with a FWVGA screen and a 1GHz dual-core processor. Android has been skinned to look a lot like the iOS interface.

But wait, here’s the best part. The Apple logo on the back has been replaced by a Triforce thingy and the iPhone label with “iploxe.” However, that’s just a sticker – peel it off and the Apple logo and iPhone branding appear below for a pretty convincing looking replica of Apple’s iPhone 5.
