Apple announced today that the iPhone 4 will hit the chinese markets on September 25 through China Unicom stores and through two new Apple stores one being in Beijing and one in Shanghai.
The Chinese iPhone 4 is more over same from the devices sold in other countries. All features like FaceTime, Retina display, LED flash and HD video are all there. But, anyways the iPhone 4 won’t be cheap there. According to the apple, the 16 GB model will sell for 5,999 yuan and the 16 GB for 4,999. In US dollars it is roughly $890 and $740 respectively.
Before going up in arms, you should know that those prices are without a contract! The contract deals apparently won’t be available at the Apple stores, but they will through China Unicom stores. But as of now there is no formal announcement about pricing from China Unicom yet.
Actually Apple had difficulties in getting the iPhone into the Chinese market in the past. This swift deployment for the iPhone 4 is probably a welcome change for the residents of the country who can afford the thing.
