And if this anylasis is correct, then there are lots of rich people in china compared to US. I see now, why someone predicted chinese economy will one day will be in top.

                Between the two Chinese made phones, Apple and Xiaomi, I'd rather take Xiaomi since it has better specs and doesn't suffer from browser and app reloads due to insufficient DRAM on iPhone.

                  So many rich people in China. iPhones are incredibly expensive phones and people usually must pay full price to get it in China.

                    they buy apple because they like it better than their chinese design phone. That's all.

                      This says pretty much everything about your "knowledge"

                      Isn't it quite funny that so called 2012 year model can compete against phones like galaxy s6, htc M9 etc.?

                      Or maybe, just maybe iPhone is lot more than the numbers on paper...

                        Shipped doesn't equal sold.
                        IDC is again biased, Xiaomi sold about 30% more than Apple in China

                          I mean why would anybody buy a tweaked 2012 iPhone5 http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4910&idPhone2=6378which the iHone 6 is a lrager display iPhone5 that adds the NON phone related Apple Pay

                          It is down to marketing and perception so Xiaomi deserters will have a plong time to think on the overspend.

                          Not intimidated by the iPhone6 nor shallow enough to assume that there is kudos in owning one or that peeple are JEALOUS.

                          The BIG BIG question is in October 2015 and what f any improvements Apple come up with now Samsung has shown Apple how to make REAL "iPhones" that have HIGH specifications.

                          8MP Camera / DUAL CORE / 1Gb Ram will it be this configuration again???
