Endlich ist es soweit und Apple und China Mobile haben sich geeinigt. Laut einer Presseaussendung sind sich das kalifornische IT-Unternehmen und der chinesische Telekommunikations-Gigant einig. Am Mittwoch beginnt die Vorbestellungszeit und schon ab dem 17.1 2014 können sowohl das iPhone 5C als auch das iPhone 5S in den China Mobile Retail Stores gekauft werden. Damit erschließt Apple einen völlig neuen Markt!

Aus dem „Land der Mitte“ erwartet sich Apple eine unglaubliche Nachfrage sowohl nach dem 5S als auch dem 5C. Mit einer 350 Millionen Personen starken Mittelschicht haben die Chinesen zum Teil sicherlich auch genug Kleingeld um sich ein neues iPhone zu kaufen.

Wir freuen uns jetzt schon auf die nächste Quartalskonferenz, wenn Apple dann offizielle Zahlen um China Mobile Deal sowie erste Verkaufs- und Umsatzzahlen veröffentlichen wird.

Hier die Presseaussendung im Detail:
