that's a reseller, who can warrant products independently.

the person who wrote that claims to get everything except food off of
ebay, where products are normally sold as-is, unless the item is not as
described, which is ebay's guarantee, not the seller.

On ebay you have stores, it's not just an auction web site today. Just
like Amazon started as a bookstore.

most ebay transactions are not storefronts.

Can you get a brand new Iphone for £50? I can. But it's not
made by Apple.

then it's not an iphone.

It could very well be. Direct from china, some assembly required.

highly, highly unlikely.

fake iphones and other apple products is a huge business.

it's an android phone that looks like an iphone, to fool the
stupid, which it clearly has done.

Uhh, no. If he's talking about the umm, thing going on with China,
it's really an Apple phone; totally not authorized by Apple, created
using authentic Apple components that have been rogued from cells
people tossed away that wound up in china. There was a mini
documentary I watched on this. Dude walked around some shops,
acquired every single component he needed for an iphone. I was
impressed with the ease in which he was able to procure the
components and assistance with any of the tricky install aspects.

Didn't buy it from Apple, wasn't authorized by Apple, but, it's a
****in Apple. Made with parts recycled from other Apples. ROFL!

Certainly wasn't an android trying to pretend to be an iphone.

one dude, big ****ing deal. that isn't anything that can be done at
scale and will not work properly for reasons you do not understand.

it's nowhere near as common as the widely available fakes which run
android, exactly as i said they did, along with numerous other fake
products.

³I found an iPhone X for $100,² Motherboard reporter Sarah Emerson
messaged me while she was on a reporting trip in Shenzhen, China
earlier this year. ³You want one?²
....
The phone, then, is a device that looks just like an iPhone but is
actually an Android that has been reskinned from top-to-bottom
to seem as close to an iPhone as is possible.

https://mashable.com/2014/07/21/iphone-6-knockoff-goophone/
While it sounds like a sweet deal, consumers should know that i6 uses
a different processor than the iPhone and comes equipped with Android
instead of iOS. It also only has a 1.4GHz processor, a downgrade from
the 2GHz offered with Goophone's i5S model, which is ‹ you guessed it
‹ a knockoff of the iPhone 5S.

In short, this is the highest-quality iPhone clone we¹ve ever seen.
It¹s a surprising indicator of just how good Chinese manufacturers
are getting at reproducing Apple products. And it¹s also a cautionary
tale for anybody looking to buy a used iPhone.
....
The operating system, which is this iPhone clone¹s biggest flaw, is
a version of Android roughly hacked into a copy of iOS. It possesses
all the fluidity of a baby learning to walk. This is surely due to
the bootlegged Android operating system disguised as iOS.
....
Some apps, like Maps, connect directly to the Android equivalent
rather than the proper iOS app. Others, like iBooks, look like poorly
built Android apps.

https://www.slashgear.com/this-iphone-7-fake-runs-android-23445657/
But this device isn¹t like the rest. This device isn¹t meant to
simply fool you into believing it¹s an iPhone 7 of some sort.
Instead, Dickson made clear almost immediately after tweeting
the first image: this device isn¹t running iOS.

This device is running Android. Devices such as this can be ordered
to spec in many places * outside the United States, of course, where
manufacturers aren¹t beholden to such strict laws on all things
consumer-made. While buying your own custom tablet is far more
common internationally, 3D-printed cases and smartphone components
can, indeed, be purchased piece by piece.

A secret factory in China has been counterfeiting Apple products on a
massive scale.

https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/13/tech/...rfeit-ring-iph
one-ipad/index.html
San Francisco (CNN Business) - The FBI busted a counterfeit ring
centered on iPhones and iPads that reportedly cost Apple over $6.1
million.

there are also fake ipads, which run android, just like the fake
iphones do:
https://www.cnet.com/pictures/fake-ipad-versus-the-real-thing/13/
The fake unit runs Google's Android operating system ‹ version
1.6, if you're really curious ‹ while, of course, the real thing uses
iOS version 3.2.1.

there are even fake apple stores:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...e-store-China-
convincing-staff-fooled.html
The signs look real, the products look real and the staff all
think they work for Steve Jobs * but this Apple store in China
is a complete fake.

As I said before, you don't always back up what you say,

i *always* back up what i say. see above.

and you like
to pull lame ass insults; yet cry if you feel someone has insulted
you, or attempted to do so.

that would be you.

new doesn't mean storefront and storefront doesn't mean new. i've
bought new items from private sellers and used items from storefronts.

either way, it doesn't mean the seller offers a guarantee.

most stuff on ebay is as-is, sometimes with a very short warranty from
the seller (usually days), except for apple, which is whatever the
product originally had because unlike other companies, apple warranties
go with the product, not the buyer.

your link also claims 6.7 million sellers on ebay, and if you think 81%
of those are stores, you're delusional. ebay makes it very easy for
anyone to sell just about anything.

this link claims 70% are new items, so there's no consensus on these
stats:

That's why I buy elsewhere if it's over 10$ and a guarantee may be

Lot's of sellers have one or two items, a few have hundreds. And don't
tell me they are not pros.

If 99% of the sellers are not pros and sell 1 product, and if 1% of the
rest, the pros, sell 100: you've got 99 amateur sells and 100 pro.

Maybe in your life. In mine, they are commonly used to transmit Linux

and again, even on ebay, apple products carry their original warranty.
unlike nearly all other companies, reselling doesn't void it.

depends on the seller, and pro is not the same as storefront.

apple even has/had an ebay storefront:
https://appleinsider.com/articles/14...secret-ebay-st
ore-launches-with-certified-refurbished-unlocked-gsm-iphones-5s
For the second time in as many years, Apple appears to have
teamed with eBay on a low-profile Factory Outlet store to market
Apple Certified Refurbished products ‹such as iPhones and iPads
‹alongside full one-year Apple warranties at aggressive price points.

If 99% of the sellers are not pros and sell 1 product, and if 1% of the
rest, the pros, sell 100: you've got 99 amateur sells and 100 pro.

I might continue to hate that person. But the law should not.
The law should punish someone for a crime within say 2 years. If
they don't catch them by then, they get away with it. If they are
caught, then they've paid the price and the naughtiness is wiped
clean.

I didn't break any ****ing laws here when I wrote them. There was no

There should be. Writing code to destroy people's data is wrong.

The big problem is the result of the compression algo. You
don't really have 'part of the picture'. You have a bunch of
bits that resulted from the compression of part of the picture.
jpeg/s can be compressed various ways.

Could YOU extract a picture from a Torrent, Mike?

Torrents don't contain pictures, dumbass.

You can't be that ignorant. A torrent can be of any type of file
you like. You can download an ISO image, a bunch of exe files, a
load of mp3s, or a set of photographs.

Yea, you're that stupid. Are you sure you were in I.T for eleven
years? A torrent file, an actual torrent file is a metadata file. It
contains a collection of indexes, filename(s), piece sizes and hash
information to confirm your pieces are what they should be and nobody
along the way did any data swaps on you.

The torrent file itself does NOT CONTAIN an iso, an exe, a picture,
or anything else listed as the goodies you get when the torrent has
finished downloading. It just tells your client how to reach the
swarm and get data. It doesn't have any of the data itself. It's just
a ****ing map.

The torrent to any normal person is the collection of files. Please delete your OCD.

It's like asking "can you extract a picture from the glass
I'm
holding?"

No it isn't.

Yea, dumb****, it is.

You can extract a picture from here though, and it's not
