iPhone 6 finally approved for sale in China following regulatory hangups


(Reuters) - The iPhone 6 will be sold in China from Oct 17, after rigorous regulator scrutiny led to Apple reassuring the Chinese government that the smartphones did not have security "backdoors" through which U.S. agencies can access users' data.

Chinese iPhone regulators just woke up to the fact that their government was missing out on billion$ of tax revenue by not approving the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus for sale in China.

Meanwhile democratic Hong Kong and loosely controlled Shanghai are making a killing in the iPhone grey market while protesting for democracy in China.

The iPhone could become a symbol of democracy and freedom in China.  

From the looks of things, the central government in Beijing thinks it already has.

The Global Times said in an editorial Friday that the frenzy over iPhone 6 — including a scuffle among Chinese nationals queuing up at an Apple store in the U.S. — was making China "lose face." It said iPhones apparently were hip, but that buyer's shouldn't buy into their marketing hype. "Please show that you despise those who already have the iPhone 6," the editorial read.
