Apple not naive enough to think 5s - $100 = 'cheaper' >> The iPhone 5C was never meant for China http://goo.gl/RK3GD5 via @ChinaGeeks
@horwitzjosh @ChinaGeeks how is $100 not cheaper? Not cheap, sure, but it is 18% lower.

@monkbent@ChinaGeeks Exactly, cheaper but still expensive. Basically, it's misguiding to imply 5c target market is CN mid-range consumers. -
@horwitzjosh@ChinaGeeks yes, agree with that

@monkbent cheaper yes, but not in a way that's meaningful at all for China. 1 month's salary for a phone? Not cheap. -
@ChinaGeeks that one month's salary reference is meaningless and you know it :) -
@monkbent No it isn't. Why would it be? China =/= Beijing and Shanghai. -
@ChinaGeeks of course it doesn't. But the inequality is significant, making an average number meaningless, particularly given the scale -
@monkbent Ok fine, it costs more than the median salary. Better? -
@ChinaGeeks It is. We agree it's not really targeted at Chinese mainstream, contrary to expectations. But it will have a market.

@monkbent That's the thing. There's objectively, factually cheaper; then there's opinion that not crossing some threshold confers "quotes"Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
