IPhone come to China, officially
China Unicom launched Iphone last Friday and expects the first official sales can lift its financial statement.
The China’s 2nd largest telecom company started selling 3G service in most of Chinese cities, in order to fight with its rival China Mobile. By the end of the 3rd quarter, China Union has only 140 million users, while China Mobile service more than 3 times subscribers. According to its Q3 financial report released late Friday, its net profit hit 3.1 billion Yuan. Xiaobing Chang, CEO of company obviously “is feeling a great peer pressure and attempting to win the next round in the next generation of mobile service.”
The bad news for Unicom is most Apple fans prefer to buy the latest phones via many unofficial ways at the same time as US IPhone parterres start to sell in America. Customers doubt how a IPhone without a key feature can be sold at higher prices than widely available black market models in the world’s most populous mobile phone market
