We’re not saying that this possibly-sketchy Chinese online retailer is trying to swindle you, but you can be sure that we won’t be ordered any of these ourselves. One-stop-china.com is claiming their X-Sim II hardware solution will spoof newer iPhones shipped with the new bootloader and 1.1.2 preinstalled. X-Sim II won’t unlock your phone, but […]
