If you are ready to spend the next New Year's Day, Spring Festival consumer season, go to Hong Kong to buy a 3G version of the Apple iPad. With the "unsuccessful will be a benevolent" mentality, "sweeping" the customs back to the Mainland. Then we might as well slow down, because according to the information from the Southern Metropolitan reporter from the China Compulsory Product Certification (heading abbreviation 3C certification) platform, the 3G version of the iPad has passed 3C certification, and the issuance date is November 3.
Reference has been listed on the sale of the Wifi version of the iPad, from the 3C certification to the official listing of time, but after a month and a half or so. However, since the 3G version of the iPad still needs access to network equipment for telecommunications equipment, according to the reliable information obtained by the Southern Capital Reporter, the steps have not yet been completed, so this month's listing is hopeful.
The 3G version of the iPad is getting closer and closer to the official website of the Apple company in China. The introduction page for the “3G version of the Apple iPad†is already ready, and the “upcoming†word in the top right corner inevitably leaves Apple fans in their throats. On September 17, the Wifi version of the iPad first landed on the Chinese mainland market.
Since then, when the 3G version of the iPad was launched, it has become a common concern for consumers. China Unicom, which is one of Apple's official and “default†iPads for the 3G version of iPad, has kept its mouth shut, so that a large number of consumers wishing to purchase the 3G iPad will have to “take risks†through various forms, from the United States, Hong Kong and other places. Purchased and brought back to the Mainland, which triggered a multi-party dispute over the "Customs imposed heavy taxes on iPad" incident.
However, this 3G version of the iPad, which is in the grey area of ​​customs supervision, will gradually lose its significance as the 3G version of the iPad officially lands on the mainland market.
Yesterday, Nandu reporters saw through the 3C certification website platform that the Apple iPad certification with the certificate number 2010010902426500 had come into effect on November 3. The deadline for the certificate was August 24, 2015. The applicant and the manufacturer are American Apple Inc., and the production plant is Fuhua Industrial (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. Longhua Branch (one of the Foxconn family companies). According to the information on the 3C certification website, on August 2nd, an iPad has been certified as a Wifi iPad. Therefore, this is the 3G version of the iPad.
The possibility of listing on the month is not high. The Wifi version of the iPad is 3C certified on August 2 and the time listed on September 17 is only one and a half months apart. However, this does not mean that the 3G version of the iPad can be “as expectedâ€. Different from the Wifi version of the iPad, due to the communication network involved, the 3G version of the iPad also needs to be registered and sold through the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, as well as mobile phones and data cards. The information Nandu reporter obtained yesterday was that this step is still in progress.
"From the perspective of foreign countries, the 3G version of the iPad is far more popular than the WiFi version. He expressed his confidence in the benefits of Unicom's launch of the iPad." According to Li Gang, vice president of China Unicom Group, Unicom's 3G version of the iPad has already been done. Well, the only thing waiting for the listing is the issuance of network licenses. Therefore, even if 3C certification is obtained, it is unlikely that you want to go public within this month.
Because of this, China Unicom, which is considered by Apple as one of the channels, has still not been able to tell the exact time for listing. In fact, according to Apple's consistent law, the exact information will only be available about one week before the listing. However, it is certain that, like the iPhone, after the official listing through the necessary formalities, in addition to the sales network through Unicom, Apple's official retail stores and online retail stores will also sell this product.
Viewpoint intervention stir, China Mobile launched iPad marketing here is the 3G version of the iPad is in full swing to prepare for listing matters, there are often problems in the iPhone 4 on the "interfering with the spoils" of China Mobile, but also playing the iPad wipe the ball.
At the end of each year, it has always been a critical moment for operators to “hold†their subscribers through prepaid calls. A few days ago, China Mobile Beijing announced that five US retailers, including Meimei, Dickinson, Zhongfu, Jinfeihong and Tongwanbao, had launched call events to send iPads. From December 1st onwards, Globalpass users will receive a free Wifi iPad with a capacity of 16GB for a pre-existing 7000 yuan. It is reported that for this event Beijing Mobile has prepared nearly 10,000 Taiwan iPads, and 7,000 yuan calls will need to be used within one year. The reporter called Guangdong Mobile's customer service yesterday and the other said that Guangdong did not launch such activities.
As Wifi is one of the main ways for the iPad to access the Internet, China Mobile has been laying Wifi hotspots in the first-tier cities nationwide in recent years. Guangdong has even refined into many prefecture-level cities, playing the concept of an unlimited urban agglomeration. Make iPad and iPhone, with "competition" value.
