Are there any? Making iPhone copies will probably be prohibitively expensive, otherwise China will already make those in numbers. Yes they did some really lame knockoffs but I doubt you can replicate "the iPhone".

HN seems to be really out of depth for you.

According to iPhone 7 teardown [0] there's 3x difference in components price and retail price - $220 vs $649.

Do you think that everyone in the China and the world missed the opportunity to eat into that kind of margin?
