Apple expected to begin selling iPhone 6 in China on October 10
A series of reports from China have pointed to iPhone 6 sales beginning on Friday, October 10. The date was most recently supported by a store preparation timeline presented to retail employees in an internal training course.
The information points to product readiness and employee training that begins October 7 to support initial sales three days later.
Apple wants to begin selling its new iPhone 6 in China to include initial sales in its fiscal Q1 holiday quarter, which will be compared to last year's blockbuster quarter with revenues of $57.6 billion, $8.8 billion of which came from Greater China (a super region that includes Hong Kong and Taiwan, both of which are already selling the new iPhone 6 models).
