Apple iPhone Lands in China Sans Wi-Fi
Posted in: Apple, iPhone, Today's Chili
The iPhone has arrived in China for the first time on China Unicom–but with a twist.
The Chinese government had initially insisted Apple remove Wi-Fi functionality from the device. By the time the government changed its mind earlier this year, the iPhone had already gone into production, as MacRumors reports.
As a result, the iPhone doesn’t have it on its introduction. It also comes in at a high price of $730 to $1025 (when converted from yuan to U.S. dollars), which is 20 percent higher than what unlocked iPhone 3GS models with Wi-Fi are selling for in Chinese street markets.
