China Unicom will be shipping 5 million Apple devices no sooner than September this year. International Business Time revealed the details of the deal regarding this heavy supply of handsets.
We are talking about standard WCDMA iPhones, bought from Apple for 10 billion Yuan (1.463 billion dollars), resulting in a price of 2,000 Yuan ($292) per unit. China Unicom thinks of selling the 8GB device for 2,400 Yuan ($351) and the 16GB one for 4800 Yuan ($702) although they didn’t make a clear agreement with Apple in this sense.
Apparently iPhone 3GS won’t accompany the iPhone 3G on the Chinese market, since its 8GB version wasn’t announced yet. There are however rumors about a future release of iPhone 3GS 16GB units, but nothing is known for sure.
It seems that iPhones will be available for the Chinese in the Carrefour locations and in China Unicom’s retail outlets.
