Apple starts China online sale of iPhone 4S

BEIJING, CHINA: Apple has opened online sales of its latest iPhone 4S in China but has not specified any delivery date to its customer, a media report said Friday.

The development comes after the firm unveiled its new policies in Hong Kong and Beijing, following its nearly three-week block on iPhone 4S sales at stores in China.

"If you pay today, you might get the items tomorrow, and no later than March 2," said an Apple sales staff.

Due to heavy rush of customers at stores, Apple had suspended direct sales of the phone after its launch Jan 13 in the country, China Daily reported.
