Ever wanted an iPhone 4 running Android 2.2 Froyo? Your wish has been granted, enter the Gooappple. Hands down this is China’s best iPhone 4 replica to date and if you not convinced this phone is real head over to Android Sale where it’s selling for $239.
As you can see from the side by side image below the iPhone 4 and the Gooappple are pretty much identical apart from the obvious combination of the Android and Apple logo on the back of the device.
After watching the video below it would appear that the Android interface has been totally modified to look like iOS, it even has an iTunes clone and the compass app!
It’s amazing just how similar the GoooAppple is to the iPhone 4 both the operating system and hardware is almost identical. But at $239 you have to wonder if the build quality will be anywhere near Apples, regardless the Gooappple developer still deserves major kudos for creating such an incredible iPhone 4 clone.

Apple are currently making 4.5 million iPhones a month so If calculations are correct Apple will of made 18 Million iPhone’s by the end of the year! It’s not sure at this stage if the phone being produced by Apple are the iPhone 5 or the rumoured cheaper model people are calling the “iPhone 4S”.
Hopefully Foxconn has got over its recent problems, with accusations of poor work conditions, health hazards and an explosion on the iPad 2 assembly line that killed three workers.
Normally Apple release a new iPhone ever June, however I can’t help thinking they are releasing the phone later to increase sales of the existing iPhone 4. Apple seem to be focusing more on their software sales, announcing iOS 5, iCloud and Lion the last version of OSX, but not even a whisper of the iPhone 5 release date!
The suspense is almost killing us here at iPhone HowTo when will Apple finally put us and every Apple fan out of their misery and let us know when we will all be queuing up outside our local Apple stores for the latest shiny bit of Apple hardware
