Re: Apple expects Chinese sales 'to overtake US'
#2I will not be surprised if China overtakes US to become apple's biggest market.
iPhone is so widely known across China that people in the village I was born can speak something about it.
iPhone is showed off by many as a symbol of wealth and social statue, so they all want to possess one and many high schoolers in my school in China use iPhone as their phone.
However, I'd rather like to see Xiaomi, an Android phone made by a Chinese company, to develop well, and eat most of Apple's share.
Apology for my poor English.

There is a natural order to this world, and those who try to upend it do not fare well.

What are you referring to exactly?
Re: Apple expects Chinese sales 'to overtake US'
#5Interesting. It seems to me that in the United States, many people have relatively advanced cell phones and a computer. But in many places in China, this isn't yet the case. So while Apple might sell more products in China in the short term, it's hard to say that this will be the case in the long term. For example, Apple will never sell so many iPods as it did in the past, since so many people these days have an MP3 player or a phone that can do the job--or even an old iPod.

There is that. There is also the fact that there are between three and four times as many people in China as in the US, and in the long term it's a growing market for those who sell middle-class goods like smartphones and laptops.

Much like in the rest of the world then, the status thing that is :)

Which is sometimes funny because in the west it feels like everyone who wants an iphone has one, yet they keep judging status on it.
This reminds me of how everyone on reddit still think they are part of a small and secret elite community.
