Apple launches the iPhone 17 phones in Beijing and hundreds flock to buy it

Hundreds of Apple Store in the Chinese capital, Beijing, lined up with the start of the sale of the iPhone 17 phones today, Friday, in an indication that the sales of the series started a promising start in the second largest economy in the world.

Among the about 300 people arrived in the morning to the Apple store at the Sanlone Commercial Center in Central Beijing to receive the phones they requested online Shu K -Wang (35 years) who said that he bought the Pro Max model for 9999 Yana (1406 dollars) in China, which analysts expect to be the best -selling model in the 17th series.

“I really liked the redesign of series 17, and I think the orange phone looks good, it is very shinter. The Air looks good as well, but the Pro Max gives a longer battery life,” he said.

Apple says that the primary model of iPhone 17 has a brighter and scratch -resistant screen, and it will also have a better front camera that will make horizontal self -images look better.

Analysts believe that the iPhone 17 series can give a decisive boost at the end of the year for the Apple share in the market and shipments in China, which was subjected to pressure this year due to the intense competition of Huawei and Shayoumi, amid the weak demand of consumers.

Apple does not reveal pre -orders.

Chio Li Xuan, a prominent analyst at Omdia Research Company, said they expect iPhone charges in China 11 percent on an annual basis in the second half thanks to the new phones chain, which contributes to the growth of five percent during the year of Apple in 2025.

“The iPhone 17 is expected to outperform 16 bromaks due to its redesign, a factor that usually stimulates the demand to replace phones in China,” he added.

He continued, “It is likely that the best performance model from Apple in the Chinese market in 2026 is.”
