Lucky iPhone 8 in China?
Apple Inc. is excited to be launching its iPhone 8 in China – but the Chines public isn’t jumping for joy. That’s because it has a price tag of as much as $1000 attached to it – and that’s about double the average Chinese monthly salary. The iPhone has slipped to the fifth position in China behind many other offerings, and Apple is trying to get its footing back.

Time will tell if the Chinese will get behind the new phone or if it will be left in the dust.
