Updated: iPhone Reception In China Underwhelming
mocoNews —
The iPhone’s launch in China has met with a “lukewarm” response, according to the WSJ.com, not much of a surprise given the sky high price tag, lack of Wi-Fi functionality and grey market alternatives. Though the phone was able to attract a crowd of “hundreds,” it seems not many of them actually bought the phone, priced between $730-$1,024 depending on the model. Beijing stores still had stock on Sunday night, and one Unicom outlet in the capital city reported that it had only sold 11 phones during the launch weekend. UPDATE: China Unicom confirmed that it ...
5,000 iPhones sold in China since last week's 'official' launch
9 to 5 Mac - Apple Intelligence —
Apple’s off to a slow start in iPhone sales in China, with carrier partner China Unicom confirming 5,000 sales of the device so far, since it went on sale last week.

However, the iPhone costs maybe 26 per cent more than similar smartphones in Hong Kong, which industry observers fear may depress sales of Apple’s device in the world’s most populous country.
Over 700 million Chinese subscribe to wireless services. It’s estimated Apple may sell 460,000 ...
