Apple launches online store and App Store in China

Apple today introduced the Apple Store in China (apple.com.cn), the easiest way to shop online for Apple products including the revolutionary iPhone 4 and the magical iPad. Apple’s online store in China features free shipping, free personalized engraving on any iPod or iPad, and the ability to custom configure any Mac with just a few clicks. The online Apple Store also offers a wide selection of third-party products and is the only place online to buy the iPod nano (PRODUCT) RED.

“We are thrilled to open our newest online store in China,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s COO, in the press release. “With personalized engraving, configure-to-order options and free shipping on everything, the Apple Store is a great destination for our customers in China.”

Just in time for the holiday shopping season, signature gift wrap is available with the purchase of most Apple products including iPod, iPad and iPhone. The online Apple Store also lets eligible students and faculty members take advantage of special education pricing on Apple products.

Also starting today, customers in China can access Apple’s legendary App Store in Simplified Chinese, with localized featured apps and charts of the most popular paid and free apps in China. The App Store offers iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users access to the world’s largest catalog of apps with over 300,000 apps in 20 categories including games, business, news, sports, health, reference and travel.

  3. @iAppleTennisU:-) : Apple’s revenue will be only THAT LOW only if the company’s sales will FALL, comparing to current level.

    Sales could only be about $85 billion if the growth will completely stop, what is highly unlikely.

    So actual sales expected to be $90-95 billion or even more, depending on circumstances.

  5. This can only be a good thing, I can finally order something from Chinese that wont have spelling errors. Of course there is always a possibility of wrong character but I’ll take that risk.
