Hot selling Apple iPhone in China

Read this article in zaobao today, Chinese just love the iPhone. Although registered phone was 230 million, but Apple actually sold 370 million unit, which most went to overseas market. The software digital lock was broken and allow the user to use it on existing network.

Those users don't mind paying more for the phone, as long as they can grab one unit. All along, Apple logic is to tie with the mobile provider and try to earn the trailer fee. This activity would seriously dent the revenue. We still don't know whether this model would work in the long run, especially in emerging market.

The negotiation between China Mobile and Apple has broken, so the user unlikely to see the "real" iPhone appear just yet. So, the pirated copy would still flood the China market.
