Apple to Sell IPhone 4 in China

Apple will sell the top-end iPhone 4 handset with 32 gigabytes of memory for 5,999 yuan ($893), starting Sept. 25, it said in a statement distributed by Business Wire Monday. The company will add a store in Beijing, and one in Shanghai on the same day, according to the statement.
Demand from Chinese consumers for the iPhone, which faces competition from smartphones made by local vendors including Lenovo Group Ltd. and Huawei Technologies Co., has lagged behind expectations, according to Analysys International analyst Fang Li.
China Unicom customers need to pay an initial 6,999 yuan for the 32-gigabyte iPhone 4 model, before getting the price fully or partly refunded during the course of a 2-year contract, the carrier said on its website. Unicom, Apple?s only carrier partner in China, started taking orders for the devices last week.
In China, shipments of iPhones trail those of smartphones running Nokia Oyj?s Symbian operating system, and those of Google Inc.?s Android, according to Analysys? Fang.
