It’s like he’s more phone than man. Hong Kong’s customers officers found the chap above, trying to smuggle *NINETY FOUR* iPhones on his person. I bet he wasn’t pleased when Apple announced the iPhone 6 Plus.

The story comes from Sina News, and according to the ropey Google translation, which you can see below – it seems that when he passed through a metal detector, “the instrument was issued a loud alarm information”. No shit.

“January 11, in the Futian Port of entry the immigration hall, wearing a red sweatshirt and black trousers male passenger movement attracted the attention of customs officials. The passenger baggage is very simple, just two plastic shopping bags; but its weird walking posture, joint stiffness, muscle tension, things seem to bear emphasis. The picture shows the upper bound man full of phones.”

Inspection found that the passenger chest, abdomen, cross-department, thigh, calf wrapped with a lot of Apple phone. The Hong Kong man total personal tie to the Tibetan way of smuggling 94 Apple phone. The picture shows a man strapped to a mobile phone.
