China should ban it immediately citing claims the USA wants to spy on China, and then let's see how the USA likes it when it happens to them...

O....k? So you would trade freedom and basic human rights for a shiny, overrated, underwhelming, glitchy mess of a phone?
This right here. This is why you get ridiculed.

10. farhanmohdyousaf posted on 10 Nov 2012, 20:56

indonesia is the 4th most populated country. samsung and HTC launche their phones really quickly here but i don't know why apple launches their products really slow here.

singapore is only 1.5 hours away by flight and they have the first batch of everytime iGadget launched

indonesia ? lol i live there too, it's because indonesians love blackberry ! blackberry is selling like a hot cake here, that's why im always bashing bb :)

21. rickywinataa posted on 12 Nov 2012, 05:45

well yeah, but it is funny how indonesians glorify iPhone, when many of them have $600 BB 9900, only around $100 difference with iPhone

I hope the Chinese guys over there are smart enough not to buy one

Why would people in China buy this if they can go out to the nearest corner and buy a $5 knock-off, along with some Lo Mein.

hahahaha.... you know it!

12. rickywinataa posted on 10 Nov 2012, 21:17

well, most chinese has that sense of proud whenever they are using apple products because apple is considered expensive in countries where people buy their phones w/o contract

13. Sniggly posted on 10 Nov 2012, 22:09

Good. Maybe finally those f**king resellers will stop trying to come in and buy up our inventory of 5s just so they can resell them back in China.

The battle for market-share from Android in China continues...

15. amiaq posted on 10 Nov 2012, 22:58

Then the Chinese will realize how restricted iOS is

16. matrix_neo posted on 10 Nov 2012, 23:27

Why do they have to buy a phone with restrictive os while living in a restrictive freedom? Definitely it will make their lives more miserable. I hope Chinese people will realize it before buying expensive Iphone.
