A man was arrested by Chinese authorities on January 13 after he attempted to smuggle dozens of Apple iPhones into the country from neighboring Hong Kong. Underneath his clothes, the young man had wrapped 94 of Apple, forming a suit of armor that earned him the title of “Apple Man,” akin to Iron Man, on Chinese social media.
He was detained in the city of Shenzhen as he tried to enter from neighboring Hong Kong with his cargo, according to the Chinese newspaper People's Daily. Although the iPhone is assembled in China, it is relatively expensive in the country, forcing users to sign long-term contracts with mobile phone companies that subsidize it.
