"Only A Dozen Customers Showed Up To Buy iPhones" - Apple's China Expansion Already A Flop? | Zero Hedge

Very poor launch for iphone in China with China Mobile and Tim Cook was there! Not looking too good for the iphone in the world's largest smart phone market. I'm thinking all this NSA stuff is having an impact.

I'm thinking it's the $875 price tag and the fact that you can get something similar without the fingerprint stuff for $300.

I read they shipped 1.4 million devices to China. Must be sitting on the shelves.

That's because the Chinese are not as easy to influence as North Americans. I don't see them following the herd to the Apple store.

No they are following the heard to the android phones or cheap knockoff phones.

Sorry our BBRY heard is smaller.
