The original iPhone was not greeted well in China. Supposedly China Unicom signed up only 5,000 subscribers. The iPhone 4 was launched this past Saturday in China. Over 200,000 people in China pre-ordered the iPhone 4 according to China Unicom. At 8AM when China Unicom opened the doors to the new Apple store at the Joy City shopping mall in Beijing, there was a line of about 1,000 people.

“It’s like waiting in line to see a movie star,” stated Computerworld reporter Sun Jian Kuan. “No phone can best the iPhone.”

One of the biggest differences between the iPhone 4 now and the original iPhone is that the Chinese government did not intervene as much this time around. The original iPhone in China was made without a WiFi receiver.

The price is also substantially different for the iPhone 4 in China now too. A contract-free 32GB iPhone 3GS was being sold for $1,033 last year. This year it costs 5,999 yuan ($905) without contract. The 16GB model sells for 4,999 yuan ($754). China Unicom reporter over 40,000 of its customers purchased the iPhone 4. Below is a video of the store’s opening:

Turns out the rumors weren’t too far off. After fighting for ages to get the iPhone 3G to Chinese shores, citizens of the aforementioned nation will soon be able to pick up one of Apple’s latest (the iPhone 4, if you’re keeping count) without reverting to importers and KIRF shops. Starting on September 25th, the iPhone 4 will be available across China in retail locations as well as China Unicom shops, with off-contract pricing set for CNY4,999 (16GB model) and CNY5,999 (32GB model) — that’s around $743 and $892 in greenbacks, respectively. Those looking for subsidization options will need to do some digging once China Unicom starts talking numbers. But hey, at least this one has WiFi!
