Apple s (NASDAQ: AAPL ) popular iPhone 4S officially launched in China Friday.
However, delays in the sale of the device in Beijing and Shanghai caused an
exceptionally large crowd of disgruntled Apple fanatics to protest. The shouts
lead to scuffles, and the scuffles eventually lead to eggs being thrown at the
stores facade no doubt directed at the employees inside for having not opened
the store on time. In order to protect both customers and employees, Apple shut
down sales of the iPhone 4S in its mainland China stores altogether. Although
the iPhone will no longer be sold in stores, for the time being, Chinese
consumers can still purchase the device through China Unicom (NYSE: CHU ),
Chinas local carrier, or online. You can find the full description on NPR .
