Nowadays, IPhone is becoming more and more popular in China. In April, 2011, Apple Chief Operating Officer Tim Cook, said that “for the first three months of 2011, iPhone sales in "Greater China" grew by almost 250 percent from the same period last year.” I still remembered that when IPhone 4 launched in Shanghai in September last year, it was a hit with consumers, quickly selling out and leading to shortages. The waiting crowd in front of the Apple Store formed up in a long line. People slept on the street and waited for 3 days to buy the new phone.

In Shanghai, when you take the subway, you will always find that about half of the passengers or say, nearly all the young man are using IPhone 4 ostentatiously. They walk tall and handle the phone in their hand all the time, showing the dazzling color of their defender cases. It seems that IPhone really changed Chinese peoples’ life. We buy it for only about 4800 Yuan and then, we can make it “break out” for totally free apps and games in ITUNE. Meanwhile, It is very useful for us to use IPhone suffer the internet through our 2G network and the speed is very fast! And now, with the new system launched, we can update our system and use the English Version “Siri” to learn and improve our English level. It is really helpful!

Now, as we all known, IPhone 4S is coming and many people in China want to change their phone. However, the price of the IPhone 4S is a little high – over 9000 Yuan than 4800 Yuan for IPhone 4. But the price is still acceptable in Shanghai if considered that the average wages in Shanghai is about 3000 Yuan per month and Shanghai got the highest level of salary in China. So I have three suggestion about how to get the new IPhone 4S. First of all, you can just save money and do not use even one Yuan per month so that, it will only takes you three months to afford the phone. Second, if you think three months are too long, you can ask your parents for help. You can ask them to buy the phone for you...
