REVIEW: "Business Week" published on December 6 of article pointed out that although Apple has not co-operate with China operations, sales in Europe and the United States popular iPhone, but Chinese consumers still get their own through various channels like iPhone. Currently, Apple is actively looking for a suitable partner for the iPhone to the Chinese market as soon as possible, but it's negotiating position in the Chinese market far as strong as in Europe and the United States, the final results are not encouraging.
iPhone sales boom in China
Although the Apple iPhone has not officially landed in China, but that does not prevent it from selling here. In Beijing, if you want to buy an iPhone, you can contact Yong (transliteration, Liu Yong) such dealer. Liu Yong in Zhongguancun electronic products, runs a shop in his store, you can get the price of 680 U.S. dollars a iPhone.
Do not worry use. Liu Yong store has been selling the iPhone software update, you can use locally, even in the touch screen can be easily input Chinese. The only problem is that if you're not careful the iPhone gets broke, no one can help you repair. Yong said, "If the software have any questions, we can help you to solve, but if a hardware problem, then nothing with the."
Although the products do not come from legitimate sales channels, but still can not stop the enthusiasm of Chinese consumers to buy, such as Liu Yong dealer in Beijing, Shanghai and other cities as well. China now has about 160 million Internet users, many of them are fashion people. Many regular replacement phone is the newest offers for higher quality goals. Dalin (transliteration, Da Lin) is one, iPhone in the U.S. market just a few days, he bought his first iPhone. So far, Dalin has given his friend bought a ten or iPhone, is definitely the trendy crowd.
Apple's desire for the Chinese market
China has 1.3 billion potential customers, which makes Apple salivate. In fact, many Western technology companies have worked hard for many years in the Chinese market. After all, China is already the world's largest mobile phone market, mobile phone users reached 528 million. Dell, HP, Nokia, Motorola and other large companies to the Chinese market has long been regarded as one of the priority development of the market.
Although Apple do not want to admit its interest in the Chinese market, but rumors, Apple recently has been negotiating with China Mobile to try to cooperate with China Mobile to enter the Chinese market. However, sources said, because Apple's asking price outrageous, it's negotiations with China Mobile have reached an impasse.
China Mobile (Hong Kong) spokesman said that China Mobile chairman Wang had said last month that the company interested in negotiating with Apple. The spokesman also stressed that she could not confirm that negotiations have stalled, saying the differences between the profit-sharing talks stalled leading to rumors that are "baseless."
Not a strong bargaining position
In the U.S. and other markets, many operators lined up to cooperate with Apple, which makes Apple has a very strong bargaining position. But in China, Apple does not enjoy such treatment. China currently only two mobile operators, China Mobile's market share about 70% to 369 million subscribers, is in a strong position, so it does not care about whether cooperation with Apple.
China Mobile's share price has risen 111% this year, the current market value reached 384 billion U.S. dollars, while Apple's stock price has been skyrocketing though, but its market capitalization is still only 156 billion U.S. dollars. Analysts believe that, "China Mobile and Apple's cooperation on the interest, but not in a hurry. European operators are keen to enhance cooperation with Apple's market share and profits, but not that of China Mobile."
For Apple, China addition, a mobile operator China Unicom may not be an excellent choice. In recent years, China Unicom has been in a weak position, and the split rumors that China Unicom has also been prevalent, Apple certainly does not want a company with an unpredictable future cooperation.
