And in light of the incredible promotion being introduced by China Unicom, Apple will soon see it’s iPhone 4S become a major player among leading smartphones in this part of the world.
Bloomberg is reporting that Chinese customers willing to pay a $45 monthly fee under a two-year contract will get the iPhone 4S at no charge.

“Customer response to our products in China has been off the charts,” Apple CEO Tim Cook said recently. “With the launch in China next week, iPhone 4S will be available in over 90 countries making this our fastest iPhone rollout ever.”
