Chinese buy paper iPads for dead ancestor

“These … are quite popular. Many people ask about them especially when
Tomb Sweeping Day is approaching.”

Another online retailer, who did not want to be named, also told AFP there has
been an increase in orders for iPhone paper replicas ahead of the festival
next week.

Retailers said a paper iPad sells for 538 yuan (£54) including delivery while
an iPhone version costs around 22 yuan.

Apple products are extremely popular in China where people queue for hours to
get their hands on the latest devices.

Tomb Sweeping day – or Qing Ming – is also widely celebrated by ethnic Chinese
in southeast Asia, where most of them consider it an important occasion to
pay respect to their ancestors.
