China users can hardly wait to get their hands on Apple’s latest smartphone and there has long been speculation about when Apple would release the iPhone 4 in China. China goes through some extra steps to get devices approved in it’s country and the time it takes lasts considerably longer then say, in the US or Canada. Unicom, China’s second largest cellphone carrier, confirms what many wanted to hear, a release date for the iPhone 4 in China and soon at that.

you can expect to pick-up(in China) the hottest smartphone on the market, September 16th. Unicom experienced a huge drop is sales this last quarter but still beat out their expectations. This is largely a result of customers holding out for the iPhone 4.

It’s been several weeks now sense the launch of the iPhone 4. Pre-orders were through the roof as Apple storefronts geared up for long lines and very excited iPhone 4 owners-to-be.  Things got hairy as users noticed antenna issues which stirred up a whirlwind of controversy, criticism and speculation about how Apple could let this happen and how the company planned to remedy the problem. The announcement and eventual release of free iphone 4 bumper cases eased the minds of Apple loyalists.

In-fact, iPhone 4′s are still selling like hotcakes! Many official Apple stores and AT&T locations are struggling to keep up with the demand as they rely on daily deliveries to serve to customers. Apple anticipated that demand would have subsided by now but the antenna issues may have done them more good than harm in-terms of sales.

Change Wave Research conducted a relatively small survey in the month of July. The survey asked iPhone 4 users if they were satisfied with their purchase. Despite some users complaining about antenna issues, 72% of users said they were “very satisfied”. This doesn’t come as much as a surprise, Apple has knocked most of their products out of the park. Interestingly enough, the iPhone 3GS had better satisfaction numbers than the iPhone 4 for the first few months after launch.

Here is a tidbit of information that may spark your interest. Surveys conducted for both the iPhone 3GS and the iPhone 4 turn up that more iPhone 3GS users complain about dropped calls than iPhone 4 users.
