Rumor: iPhone 4S to Launch January 6 in China

iphone-4s

I had promised myself I wasn’t going to write about any more iPhone 4S rumors, but this one is so specific it seems like there’s a decent chance it’s true. Chinese tech sites today are reporting that according to knowledgeable insiders, the China Unicom version of the iPhone 4S will go on sale January 6.

Of course, China Telecom will also reportedly be selling the handset, but it’s still not clear when that version will launch.

If the rumors are true, Unicom will be launching the phone nationwide on January 6, which means that people outside of China’s major cities won’t have to wait to get their hands on what we feel certain is going to be a pretty popular phone here despite the fact that maybe it shouldn’t be.

Anyway, if the handset really is to be released so early next month, we should hear an official announcement fairly soon. We’ll keep you updated.
