China's version of the official store dropped listings for the
iPhone 4 in both 16GB and earlier today and is now only selling a cheaper 8GB model.
The 8GB
iPhone 4 is priced at 4088 Yuan ($644) and is only
available in black.
While it is common for
Apple to drop larger capacity iPhones before the introduction of the latest model, it is a little surprising at how early they have done so in
China as an official
launch date for the
iPhone 4S still hasn't been announced.
Apple customers in
Hong Kong were able to start placing pre-orders for the iPhone 4S yesterday, in preparation for its
launch on 11th November. Could
Apple be pulling a dual
launch and also be releasing the iPhone 4S in
China on the same day?
