Chinese resell price iPhones until 50% larger

On the first weekend of sales of the new generation of the iPhone, consumers thronged Apple stores around the world. In New York, the most famous, the consulting firm Piper Jaffray told nearly 2,000 people, one-third more than in the previous release, last year. But not all interested are fans of appliance. Many people see the release an opportunity to make money.
In Hong Kong, hundreds of Chinese resold devices purchased minutes before for up to 50% more than the official price-between $ 720 and $ 927 for model with 4.7-inch screen, and between $ 824 and $ 1043 to 6 inches. On the door of the IFC Mall, one of the largest shopping malls in the city, the buyers were boarded just outside the store. "It is a way to make money fast," he said, smiling, a young man who had just sold a 4.7 inch golden model purchased at the Apple store overlooking the Victoria Bay.
Responsible for the overall production of most Apple products, mainland China, interestingly, not entered on the list of the first ten countries to receive the smartphones. Give priority to Hong Kong has been a common practice from Apple. Maybe because most of it is sold in the former British colony to China anyway. In his favor, buyers have the Chinese exchange more valued than Hong Kong and right demand for appliances. In large cities around the country, the iPhone is so disputed how much more affordable models of Samsung or local manufacturers as Xiaomi, Huawei and Lenovo.
The expectation is that Apple will reveal today the sales numbers of iPhones over the weekend. Last week, the company had already announced a record volume on pre-sale, started the day 12.
