China getting the iPhone sooner than expected
The iPhone is manufactured, assembled and is shipped from China. You all know that right? Now, isn’t it funny that the iPhone is not officially available in that country?
Hmm, I’d say it’s pathetic and shocking. China is simply out of the iPhone map because of the cantankerous negotiations between the prospective carriers and Apple and also because of Government regulations. This time around, we are hearing rumors again which we’re already tired of hearing, ‘the iPhone would be launched there very soon.’
China Unicom would be selling the iPhone “soon” according to reports. Hope the word ’soon’ does not imply forever. Bad news for iPhone fans out there, the device that comes there would be Wi-Fi disabled, since the Chinese government does not want iPhone users to chew up packets off government controlled cellular carriers’ network.
