iPad 2 3G arrived in China, not a single damn was given

Whenever Apple launches a new product, no matter where the location is, you’d expect an insanely long queue outside of those Apple retailers. However, that is not the case. We never thought that this is actually possible due to the reputation that Apple fanboys enthusiasts have but apparently, nobody in China actually care about the release of iPad 2 3G in their country.

Of course, there are so many theories on what actually led to this huge snore fest. First, iPad 2 has already out in China – the launch was madness – since few months ago although only as stand-alone Wi-Fi edition. Second, the price is rather steep at USD 733 (RMB 4,688) for a 16GB unit while consumers can technically obtain it at only USD 628 (HKD 4,888) in Hong Kong. Also, an important note is that 3G coverage in China is very awful, so probably nobody is anticipating it. It also could be that consumers want iPhone 5 more than iPad 2 right now.
