Whenever we think about buying a new equipment especially cell phones, we always want to take a look at the unit before the final purchase is made. However, some stores do not allow such hands-on treatment to products in the fear of potential damage and what now. Some stores do sacrifice a working model for hands-on experience but not all stores can afford such.iphone dummyThis is why a dummy phone is still the best way to go when advertising this kind of products. A dummy phone is basically a non-working replica of the original phone. Take for example an iPhone dummy phone would still look and feel like the real thing except it does not have any innards. A dummy phone is just a plastic chassis without the complicated circuitry and software.dummy phoneThese the things that usually adorn the shelf displays of many stores rather than showing the real Mccoy. One reason for this is to avoid possible damage to a working unit especially since picky buyers tend to go overboard when it comes to testing the phone. Furthermore, turning on a phone unit for the first time would lead to many set-up options that would be altered if the unit will not be bought on the first hand. Stores invest in such things because they are cheap and there is no worry if the unit will get damaged since it would only be minor and easily replaced. But best of all, take for example a dummy iPhone, help in making sales go up. This is because many buyers would like to know how a potential phone to be bought would feel in their hand and how it would really look in the flesh. Many dummy phones almost look like the originals that many people are left to think that they may have actually held the real one until they attempt to switch the device on. It is true that a dummy phone will never provide the full experience of a real working phone. However, one can still get the feel of the hardware of the actual unit.dummy iphoneA dummy phone is made precisely like the original including the physical buttons which can give you a first impression on how those buttons would feel like when pressed. But not everybody can be pleased with such a stunt because for those diehard equipment aficionados, the real thing is always better. And I do not disagree since in order to better appreciate the entire new cell phone experience, one has to really get to touch and work with the real unit. However, there is a risk that if the unit gets damaged or goes wrong during the testing, you might end up investing for it. Hence, the other benefit of a dummy phone.
