Chinese carriers and retail outlets took in 2 million reservations for the new iPhone 6 handsets in just the first six hours that it was out and Chinese consumers aren't going the cheapest route. Most of the reservations are for the 64GB iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus models, which sell for 6,088 yuan ($991) and 6,888 yuan ($1,121), respectively. Following regulatory approval of the phones by the Chinese government, Apple announced Tuesday that the iPhone 6 will go on sale there on October 17. Available in gold, silver, or gray, the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 and the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus will come with 16GB, 64GB and 128GB of built-in storage. Both models will be sold via Apple's online store and by reservation from Apple retail outlets. The phones will also be sold by China's three major carriers -- China Mobile, China Telecom and China Unicom -- as well as through Apple authorized resellers. The new iPhones launched in the US and other countries on September 19, but China was late to the launch party due to regulatory delays. The country's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology needed to approve the new iPhones for network access before retailers could start offering them. The MIIT granted the necessary regulatory approval earlier this week, as confirmed by Apple on Tuesday.
I would some day like to get an iPhone 6 that’s why I chose this story. But, my parents said I can’t get an iPhone unless I pay for it. The only one in my family(mom,dad,sister casey,and me) that has an iPhone is my mom and my sis Casey has been begging for an iPhone since summer because all of her friends has iPhones and she doesn’t she has a slide phone like I do and I said it’s not that bad but she said yes it is in High School having this phone. I’m glad that I even have a phone, but some day I would like to have an iPhone,but I’m glad I have a phone to text because my dad has a flip-phone so I’m lucky. Hopefully in the future I would like to get an iPhone!
