iPhone 17: It is a record launch in this very important country for Apple

While theiPhone 17 was presented during the keynote “AWE Dropping” of September 9, the request exceeds all expectations according to the South China Morning Post. From the opening of pre-orders on the jd.com platform, success was there.

Success is immense for the iPhone 17 in China

The iPhone 17 was more reserved in just one minute than the first day for the iPhone 16. It would therefore seem that Chinese consumers have found a form of interest for Apple in the face of improvements promised by this new range.

It is the iPhone 17 with 256 GB of storage which is the most popular with Internet users of JD.com. For this price positioning, this version therefore seems to appeal to Chinese users and meet their needs.

The success is such that Chinese Internet users have struggled to access the official Apple website to reserve their iPhone 17. We are talking about up to 5 minutes of waiting to finalize a payment. Or a great pressure on the infrastructure of the Californian company.

The craze is stronger for theiPhone 17 pro max Since we are talking about a 20 -minute expectation in Apple Store in Shanghai. For Guangzhou, it is an wait until October 15 before receiving his iPhone 17, whatever the chosen version.

Nabila Popal, senior research director at IDC, welcomes Apple’s strategy. According to her, the Californian company has been able to segment its range to meet the needs of all users, hence this unprecedented wave of purchases.

This year, Apple only markets three models instead of four. Among them, we find theiPhone aira smartphone with barely 5.6 mm finesse and which offers ESIM technology only.

In China, this version is still awaiting approval from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technologies. The three Chinese public operators offer ESIM technology for the iPhone Air, “But subject to regulatory approval”. The release of this version is therefore delayed on the Chinese market but there is no doubt that its launch will also be a success.
