5000 iPhones, that is the sad amount that China Unicom sold during launch weekend
iPhonefreak — ... not seem all that spectacular. But that could be due to the fact that the iPhone is being sold for a pretty penny. If you remember back to my original post from a few days ago , the 32GB iPhone was selling for the equivalent of $1,026 US dollars.

Given this welcome, it seems to look like Apple is not going to be making their estimated goal of selling “460,000 iPhones each year in China.” [via 9to5Mac ]
