iPhone 3GSApple has sold only 5,000 iPhones since it officially launched in China last week. The key words here are “officially launched”, since people there have been able to buy the iPhone on the grey market for some time now and their version is a far better phone since the official phone doesn’t have Wi-Fi. That’s right folks, the official iPhone in China does not have Wi-Fi capability.

It’s not the price that is keeping consumers from purchasing the official iPhone. The issue is that China Unicom and Apple have released a crippled version of a phone that had already been widely available.

Apple is expected to sell as much as 460,000 official iPhone in China per year. We shall wait and see!
