iPhone 4 Hits China Early Next Month

Written on August 17, 2010 by Adam Eve

After issues that roams around the smartphone arena, there's nothing that can stop Apple in releasing iPhone 4. Now, they are even expanding their market in China. There's Wifi enabled iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 and iPad. What's next?

Just weeks after the Chinese market began selling the WiFi enabled iPhone 3GS, Apple will launch the iPhone 4 in the country on the first part of September. China Unicom, the company’s carrier partner, acknowledged that the latest iPhone device will ship in the market, then followed by the iPad release. Though no time frame was given, the two products won’t be launched on the same day. China Unicom began selling the WiFi enabled iPhone 3GS on the first part of August, after the model was approved last month. In an effort to promote its own WAPI wireless networking standard, China banned the sale of WiFi products but relented later. Apple experienced a 144 percent growth in China after its most recent quarterly earnings conference call. It’s no wonder why the company opened its second retail store in the country with plans or putting up 25 more.
