Every year, the Chinese commemorate their dead in a celebration that is held on April 4, and during it people take various objects to the graves of their relatives and burn some of the necessary ones. The Chinese carry food, clothes, and other items necessary for life among them were included now also iPhones and iPad tablets made of paper. The Chinese take these objects to the graves of their relatives and burn them in their memory, and the sellers of these products say that they are extremely popular during this period, although a paper iPad tablet can cost $85 and an iPhone only $3.
"The paper iPhones and iPads sold are the same size as the real ones with a whole complete package of components like headphones," an online retailer known by his surname, Tang, told AFP.
"I have run this online shop for four years, and started to sell paper iPhones and iPads two years ago.
"These ... are quite popular. Many people ask about them especially when Tomb Sweeping Day is approaching."
Chinese interest in burning these objects appeared a few years ago when the devices became popular in China. The ritual is unusual for our country and the burning of these paper devices is even more strange, especially since they are not essential to everyday life.
