A trending video capturing a phone vendor using a laminating machine to rebrand an iPhone, making it appear new has stirred mixed reactions online.
In the viral video, the phone vendor was shown using a laminating machine to give the iPhone box a new look by branding it with nylon.
Three more iPhone boxes are shown in the video being ready for a similar rebranding process.
The majority, who sell phone accessories devise the unconventional method to trick customers into buying iPhones that look brand-new but are worn.
Considering the price of a new iPhone, online users asserted that phone vendors choose to rebrand in order to create a fast-selling market.
Some online users expressed their opinion that the phones within the boxes are either broken or counterfeit iPhones in service mode, while others confirmed that most people receive rebranded iPhones as surprise gifts and fabricate social media posts to gain views and likes.
