What is the difference between an unlocked iphone and a "high quality" copy iphone from China?

What is the difference between an unlocked iphone and a “high quality” copy iphone from China? I can’t know why they are so expensive on eBay and additional sites offer them for less.
What about persons copies that really look like iPhones with Apple logos all over them. They are indistinguishable in the pictures but how do they work? How do you go online with them?

fake iphone doesn’t have all the features of a real iphone; doesn’t usually have Wifi, Bluetooth or 3g

most copy iphone like sciphone i68, hiphone,p168,i9,mini apple,ect..they do not have smart operater system (they all use MTK solution)at all.and so does additional feature like 3g, wifi,gps,and no 16GB.but they do have bluetooth,shave exchange music function,slide screem.But i heard now the ciphone company are developing newest ciphone 6 generation,it will have smart system of 450mhz CPU,128 mb ram+256rom,windows CE 6.1 system,gps,wifi,bluetooth,3.5 inch screen. the price of copy on ebay are really a bit high. the normal price in shenzhen i can told you, for i68 is about 100-110USD.the ciphone 6 will charge 180USD as well.

HQ copy of iPhone from China sometimes has more futures than first: Windows Mobile 6.0, GPS, WiFi and some additional futures. But it’s not real 3G phone. (it’s price from 150 till 380usd in China)
Speaking about low price iPhone – they are only outside look-like first iPhone.
All Chinese best copies of iPhone are NOT iPhone.

From the additional side, owners of first iPhone told me many times, that they want to have some more fuctions like in Chinese models…

I’m plotting to buy an iPhone 4 soon and was just wondering, is it possible to buy it on prepay?

On the Vodafone NZ store, it only lists the possible On Account plans, but in the iPhone FAQ it says that it is possible for prepay, but not if its just for the iPhone 3GS or the iPhone 4.

And on the Apple store, what does it mean when it says the iPhone will be unlocked?

Sorry if this is confusing, thanks in advance.

Answer by Max
You can buy an iPhone 4 from apple and it will come unlocked which earnings it can work with 2 degrees, Vodafone and so on.My dad bought his iPhone 4 from the apple website and bought a 2 degrees micro Sim.it worked perfectly.He then later bought a Vodafone micro Sim from a shop in Christchurch.He is on prepay.So you can have an iPhone 4 on Prepay!!

Pete Warden and Alasdair Allan talking about how they learned the existence of the tracking database on the iPhone, and what it might mean. Also how they went about exploring and visualising the data once they knew it was there, and show how it may maybe be used to track individuals movements over time.
