iPhone-Verkaufsstarts in Beijing und Shanghai abgebrochen

(Thanks, Elizabeth Phung!)

Apple has decided to postpone the retail availability of its new iPhone 4S at some stores in mainland China after a rowdy crowd disrupted the device’s debut at its Sanlitun store in Beijing. […] And rather than risk a repeat of the incident — which ended in profanity, egg-throwing and a few scuffles, the company has decided not to sell the 4S at any of its retail stores in Beijing and Shanghai. Instead, it will sell the device through its Web site and carrier partners.

Bereits zur iPad-2-Einführung gab’s Krawall und Verletzte. Das sind so News, die auf ganz vielen Ebenen erschrecken – und positiv ist keine Einzige davon.
