There is no official word on the China iPhone pricing. China Unicom, though, has confirmed two models for the largest market in the world. The China Unicom iPhones will have no WiFi (disabled), to meet country regulations.
The anticipation is finally over, even though Apple iPhones have been available for the Chinese who can afford it. The iPhone clone market may either expect a boost or a hit this announcement (we suspect a boost). One interesting aspect of the deal between Apple and China Unicom is the lack of revenue sharing practiced elsewhere in the world where iPhone is being sold.
