Newlaunches.com has tickled us (but not Apple, no doubt) with their recent coverage of the Chinese P168.

Not the first iPhone rip, but particularly cheeky as the manufacturers have even nicked the fish-themed wallpaper, leaving clued-up consumers in no doubt as to what this product is supposed to resemble.

Newlaunches.com report that this blatant copy boasts six onboard speakers for surround sound effects and a 3.5-inch touchscreen – although some keys have been added for basic functions.

How does that saying go? Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery? No doubt Apple's legal team will keep that firmly in mind when they spot this new creation.
