Sounds familiar? North Korea launches its own tablet called the "iPad".

A North Korean techcnology firm Ryonghung has now launched a new tablet called the 'iPad'. Apple’s trademark guidelines prohibit any unauthorized use of its content.

The Ryonghung iPad is equipped with 1 gigabyte of RAM and just 8GB storage

The Ryonghung iPad has been designed to let users read the news, work on documents and use more than 40 pre-installed apps, including one that can diagnose 1,200 ailments and suggest remedies. Its name appears to be a clear violation of the company’s trademark and an insider says it's unlikely that the firm will take action. 

‘You may not use or register, in whole or in part, Apple, iPod, iTunes, Macintosh, iMac, or any other Apple trademark,’ the guidelines state, ‘including Apple-owned graphic symbols, logos, icons, or an alteration thereof, as or as part of a company name, trade name, product name, or service name except as specifically noted in these guidelines.’

In the past, North Korea has also released an operating system that appeared to be a clear imitation of Apple’s OS X, called Red Star 3.0.

And, there have even been reports that Kim Jong Un uses an actual Apple iMac, according to Gizmodo.

It’s unclear how much the Ryonghung iPad is being sold for, but the ad claims it is ‘now popular among customers.’

The Ryonghung iPad was popular at a national science and technology festival and product shows in North Korea in 2016, the advertisement claims. But in terms of the specs, it’s far from matching Apple’s flagship tablet. A stock image is pictured.
