iPhone 17 Reservations in China Surge to 5 Million on One Retailer

• Reservations for the iPhone 17 in China have reached an impressive 5 million, according to a tipster, with the figure coming from just one online retailer.

• This surge in interest suggests strong consumer confidence in the iPhone 17's design changes, features, and upgrades.

• The starting price for the iPhone 17 in China is slightly higher than in the U.S., but includes increased base storage and a ProMotion display.

• The popularity of the iPhone 17 may pose a challenge to competitors like Samsung, whose Galaxy S26 launch in China could be impacted.

bcos orange very obvious... everyone will know you got a new phone.
Previous color hard to show off it's a new phone.

LMAO, where is all the wumaos that say china ppl will support huawei and china brand phones?

so how many sold kidneys

Time to harvest new kidneys.

Smart marketing.

They keep the design same for years.

Then suddenly change design.

Sales incoming

Half of that figure would be scalpers. Syndicates there takes scalping to the very next level. In short, every shit not smelly can be scalped in Chyna land.

Huawei still number 1 is market share though, Apple number 2. In any case, both still made in China so not so bad

i still remember those long queues outside the apple store in japan — back then, the msrp there was cheaper than in china. this time, china’s msrp is a bit lower, but buying in japan is still worth it since tourists get a 10% tax rebate. that works out to around 50 dollars, or about 350 yuan in savings.
