iPhone 5 goes on sale in China... even though it hasn't been released yet
Apple Inc's next-generation iPhone has not even been released yet, but opportunistic sellers on China's largest e-commerce platform, Taobao, are already accepting pre-orders, complete with mock-up pictures and purported technical specifications.
Sellers on Taobao, a unit of Alibaba Group, are accepting orders for the iPhone 5, in some cases asking for a deposit of 1,000 yuan ($160) for the new phone. One seller, 'Dahai99888', who started accepting pre-orders this week, is asking for full payment upfront, at a cool 6,999 yuan ($1,100).
The hotly anticipated iPhone 5, however, is widely expected to be released sometime between August and October this year, although Apple itself has been tight-lipped about it.
