CDMA iPhone 4S Coming to China in February via China Telecom




Apple’s iPhone 4S has already been launched in China last month and is now available for purchase exclusively from China Unicom.

However, the China Unicom’s exclusivity over the iPhone 4S is about to end, as Apple it trying to boost the sales of its latest iOS smartphone in China, one of the biggest markets in the world.

Apple unveiled plans to sell around 40 million iPhone 4S units in China, by 2013. This is the main reason why the company is trying to accelerate the launch of the iPhone 4S at a second carrier.

Moreover, China Telecom seems to have a bigger share of the market when it comes to high-end smartphones, which might increase iPhone 4S sales and would make China the ideal market for Apple’s high-end handset.

The information is confirmed by China Daily, which reports that the launch of the CDMA iPhone 4S this month will considerably ramp up the pressure on the competition.

According to China Daily, carrier China Telecom has already started to prepare for the launch of the iPhone 4S, which is only a matter of time.

Although the operator confirmed that phone would be available “as early as February,” there’s no telling if the phone will indeed make it to the market this month.

In this regard, it’s worth stressing that Apple had a bad experience with the launch of the iPhone 4S last month, where crowds of Apple fans turned violent after the company decided to stop selling the device at its official stores.

Hopefully, Apple will avoid making the same mistakes and the CDMA iPhone 4S launch event at China Telecom will go smoothly.

On a side note, the latest stat numbers coming from research firm Gartner position Apple on 4th place among smartphone vendors in China. Gartner has also confirmed that Nokia, Samsung and Huawei are the first three most proficient smartphone manufacturers in China.
