      China should give pressure to reduce the price also because apple is selling cheaper hardware phone even lesser BOM than Xiaomi in very expensive to retailers. So apple stops just to be rich and starts people's welfare responsibly.

                MotoGeek, 17 Sep 2014No iPhone in China? It will be the end of Apple ... this is bad news indeed for aapl as China Mobile cuts subsidies that helped people afford high end foreign sets.

                The market took the news in positive. China Mobile argues in support of the common folk to be able to choose from plenty high end 4G/LTE sets available under 1000 Yuan and MADE IN CHINA

                ... could not agree more - and kind regards

                          AnonD-281018, 16 Sep 2014New iPhones look amazing. Perfect blend of glass, metal and... moreThe sad part is that your comments are hilarious, simply because your posting on a site where phones specifications has already been INDEPENDENTLY TESTED, despite that you're still WRONG

                          I don't understand why people are willing to buy a phone just based on a presentation and nothing else.

                          The administrative delay only affects China, and how many of the 4.4 million is unknown.

                          What is apparent is that independent testing by Gsmarena etc will NOT support all the claims made on 09/09/2014.

                          First, assuming previously an iPhone, you would be upgrading from the iPhone5 to the iPhone6 if previously on a 2 year contract http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4910&idPhone2=6378

                          The iPhone5S came 5th in a 6 camera shoot off http://www.gsmarena.com/six_way_camera_shootout-review-998p10.php

                          ATM we know the iPhone6 won't have Sapphire or Gorilla glass.
                          NFC is only in support if Apple Pay.

                          With one benchmark already in puts the iPhone6 as marginally faster than the iPhone5S

                          After 2 years on contract with the iPhone5 the iPhone6 is just bigger and costlier.

                          You want to believe that you have the best phone in the world as you have paid the most, usually paying a high price does, however NEVER with Apple,

                          You must be aware of the comparison of the iPhone6 with the 2012 Nexus 5

                            Anonymous, 17 Sep 2014yes and the same redundant issues are not resolved. more p... more... if people want an ordinary mobile, the i6, S5, motoX MEIZU, galpha will do -would not waste my time arguing which one us the best; can not argue with personal preference

                            ... but when it comes to productivity, technological innovation, superior innovative design, and again and again PRODUCTIVITY, the Samsung Note Series leaves All eating dust

                            ... at this stage of the game, buying the iPhone 6+ is nothing more than a futile exercise by people who simply haven't got the slightest clue

                            kind regards

Android users again, switching phones every year. New update? Game over. guaranteed lag fest. glithces upon glitches, since android is so fragmented, xxxx app might not even work as well on xxxx android phone since it's built differently. it's just so much problems. Yea. didn't samsung had a 20% profit drop last quarter? yea.... figured......


                              so in the end?? specs means jack. again, if you love the note 4? go ahead and get it. no one cares. the problem right now?

                                  You guys should visit Hong Kong, all the iphones will be resold to China on 20th.

                                  It has heen like this since 3GS, they are not worrying.

                                      Those preorders alot are for black market.In China you can buy in Hongkong or Macau.This is just a marketing gimmick.It is not available in alot of country on launch so people go to black market to get one.That is the reason there are alot of preorders.
