“Finally Apple China has given priority in the sale of their products. If only because the Earth is round and the sun rises in the East “. A fan of the Cupertino company, Mu was Xijie which waited with her nose glued to the computer screen to be opened within the web to book the new iPhone, and this morning, holiday in China has risen early in Shanghai to be one of the first to put his thumb on the new iPhone 5S fingerprint sensor. Like many others, has spent 6,088 yuan (760 euros) for the 32 GB and has opted for the gold. According to the Apple employee who has helped to set up your terminal Mu, that color is still by far the most requested by users in China and the first to be sold on the web.

Proof of this is that today the costs in retail gold online of resale about 70 euros more than the other two colors. “I think that it is exaggerated tone, but rather elegant,” explains Mu, replacing your iPhone 4. “System are exciting new security measure fingerprint and the options open to the 64-bit architecture,” explains. “Additionally, iOS 7 think it has a clean look and a nice color.” Buyers Mu proved around their new devices showed their satisfaction with similar comments.

However, at the opposite end is the iPhone 5C. In the hour and a half has passed COUNTRY in as establishment that Apple has in Shanghai, the Nanjing Dong Street, has been unable to find a single customer for the cheapest version of the phone. Dependents say there have been several in the early hours, but an employee recognizes, on condition of anonymity, that for every C version sold about 30 units are placed S. And not hide his surprise at the small price difference between the two models: 800 yuan (100 euros).

For each version sold about 30 units are placed iPhone 5S

“Who is going to buy if the C is just an iPhone 5 camouflaged with a plastic housing?” asks Zhao Xinmin, to test his theory by making a comparison between the iPhone 5, released last year, and The 5C. “And now you can get the iPhone 5 even cheaper than 5C. It’s stupid to buy the plastic “. However, beside a 16 year old surnamed Liu, yes that is attracted to the colors looked “less serious” cheap terminal. “The problem is that Chinese brands with similar products much cheaper. And I can not afford to pay 4,488 yuan (560 euros) for this “.

Then try to sell them to those who do not want to wait to get to the terminal and make a profit of 200 yuan (24 euros) with the transaction. “On this occasion, as the iPhone has come in China while the rest of the world, business is not going well. The C does not want anyone, and we get only the S golden slice “.

Not surprisingly, before the aircraft arrived at the Chinese mainland months after its release in the rest of the planet, which created a lucrative black market in which Huangniu were responsible for acquiring the phones in the U.S. or Hong Kong and resell the Internet in China. “There will still be a little leeway, because there are countries that are cheaper, but people prefer to buy the original”.
