Isn't it amazing?? Although iPhone 5 has yet not been officially released and it is already on sale in China.

Neither the release date of the official smartphone nor the information regarding its features is known. And China is one step ahead. It's one of the largest online bidding site has started cashing in the ucoming smartphone.

Sellers on this site named Taobao are advertising the phones for up to 7,500 yuan. While some other companies are takinga as much as 1,000 yuan while one seller has even asked for full payment at 6,999 yuan (around £700).

It is epectecd that the iphone would be released between August and October this year and it would have a bigger screen thabn its revious models with more refined Siri (voice recognition software) functions.

Normally Aple products come into the Hong Kong market before they are even released. Similarly these sellers have planned to buy the iPhone 5 in Hong Kong or the United States and then bring it to mainland China.

'Demand is high. Yesterday someone just bought two phones. Altogether we have about two dozen orders,' told one of the sellers.
