Christmas has been adopted in China as one of the country's largest retail holidays (obviously with no religious affiliation), so I'm sure demand for the iPhone is very strong during Christmas in China as well. It seems likely that the timing is designed around CNY but w/ the new Chinese consumerism, demand is likely very strong throughout the year.
- seanmcdirmid 13y agoThis is clearly timed for CNY, like the iPhone 4 release was. January is China's largest retail season as there is a lot of gift buying for the early February golden week when everyone goes back to see their family. But go to the Apple store any night and its extremely crowded. Its like IKEA but a lot more packed since the space is much smaller.
