“These counterfeit phones, Cohen said, were either out of warranty or contained counterfeit parts, but Apple “wrongly” believed that they were real phones under real warranties”
So not counterfeit. Just real iPhones that were out of warranty or has been repaired by a third party.
real phones with counterfeit parts resulting from third party repairs doesn’t seem that surprising given how restrictive apple is about providing authentic repair parts. i would not be surprised if this turns out to be another case of them shooting themselves in the foot because they got too greedy.
They truly are a ridiculous company. If they were a bit more open about their Macs I would buy one, but they aren’t so I don’t.
Their desire nickel and dime people as much as possible ultimately ends up in the earning less money. Meanwhile every small computer shop on the planet sells Windows computers.

Oh, the horror!
