400,000 Unlocked iPhones Located In China
February 18th, 2008
According to statistics revealed by marketing research firm ‘In-Stat’, out of the estimated 1,000,000 unlocked iPhone devices globally, some 400,000 of the unlocked untits reside in China.
“The figure surprised us as it is fourfold of that we estimated before. We have never doubted that the iPhone will achieve greater success than iPod in China if Apple teams with China Mobile to launch its Chinese version.”
It seems unlikely that Apple will be able to convert this semi-underground trade into legitimate business for the company, with China Mobile (the man carrier in the country), recently ended talks regarding launching an official iPhone launch in the Country.
