China Unicom reported that the iPhone 4 is selling quicker than its predecessor, the iPhone 3G S, launched last year, and demand for the iPhone 4 is much more than supply. The carrier will increase its supply as soon as possible. China Unicom launched the iPhone 4 in China on September 25, 2010.
The carrier received more than 200,000 iPhone 4 preorders by September 25, 2010 and when the sales started, more than 40,000 buyers bought the device along with a mobile service contract.
In late October 2009, China Unicom sold 100,000 units within the first six weeks of the iPhone 3G S’ launch in the region.
It was not just in China that saw such frenzy regarding the iPhone 4. The iPhone 4 was introduced by Steve Jobs on June 7, 2010 at the Apple World Wide Developers’ Conference. The phone was launched on June 24, 2010. Within the first three days of its launch, more than 1.7 million units had been sold. Pre-order of the phone started from June 15, 2010. So many people came to place pre-orders that websites of Apple and AT&T crushed. In just one day, Apple received 600,000 pre-orders.
China Unicom hopes to lure more subscribers from its rivals- China Mobile Ltd. and China Telecom Corp. Ltd. to its 3G network.
