App Store Came to China
The deal with China Unicom and the subsequent launch of official iPhone sales in China is good news for Apple, but even better news for 100,000 developers whose software is sold on the App Store.
On the potential of the Chinese market is not worth talking about. Now there are 690 million mobile subscribers - more than in Europe and the United States combined. The Chinese Unicom provider, small by Chinese standards, has about 141 million subscribers (more than the population of Russia). At the same time, China Unicom will not be an exclusive partner of Apple. Soon it is expected to sign a contract with the operator China Mobile, whose services are used by 500 million people.
According to experts, next year 10-20% of all global sales of iPhones will be in China. Already, about 1.5 million iPhones purchased abroad are “illegally” used there.
