Apple launched its long-awaited new devices iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C on Tuesday in Cupertino. The iPhone 5C is believed to be a major move of the electronics giant to gain back its momentum in emerging markets such as China, Apple's second-largest market.
For the first time, China becomes one of the first markets to have the new iPhones. The starting price for iPhone 5S is 5,288 yuan ($858), while the starting price for the low-end iPhone 5C is 4,488 yuan ($728).
For many Chinese users who have been expecting an iPhone of less than 3,000 yuan ($487), the price is very disappointing.
In a survey on Sina.com.cn, the No 1 Web portal in China, 88.4 percent or 8,768 people said the price is too high and only 2.6 percent or 254 people said they would buy iPhone 5C.
