The rumors were true. Apple issued a press release today announcing that the iPhone 4 will be released in China on September 25 through China Unicom stores and through two new Apple stores — one in Beijing and one in Shanghai.
The Chinese iPhone 4 won’t differ significantly from the devices sold in other countries. FaceTime, Retina display, LED flash and HD video are all there. That said, the iPhone 4 won’t be cheap there. According to the press release, the 16 GB model will sell for 5,999 yuan and the 16 GB for 4,999. That’s 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. We haven’t seen anything about pricing from China Unicom yet.
Apple has had difficulties 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.
