Apple's iPhone 4S Available Again In China's Online Store

It's rather fair to say that the launch of Apple's iPhone 4S in China hasn't gone smoothly. After postponing the handset's launch in Apple Retail Stores (which enraged egg-throwing scalpers) the company's Apple Online Store stock rapidly sold out. Some customers were able to get their handset from a retail store via an online reservation system, which was introduced less than a week ago. However, Apple fans in China are now able to order the iPhone 4S from the country's Online Store, and according to one Apple employee, online orders should be with customers by March 2 at the latest.

According To Tim Cook, Apple Underestimated Demand For The iPhone 4S In China

A couple of weeks ago, Apple's launch of the iPhone 4S in China descended into chaos: Apple Stores didn't open on time, unhappy customers threw eggs, and eventually, a SWAT team was called to the Beijing retail store. According to Business Insider, during yesterday's financial conference call Apple CEO Tim Cook acknowledged that the company had underestimated demand for the iPhone 4S in China.
