China has a lot of nouveau riche though, conspicuous consumption is highly popular for someone who has 'made it'. Thats why you have packed malls that are exclusively Gucci and Prada and Hermes and shit in Shanghai when you could probably get the same sweatshop sewn item down at the fabric market for 1/100th of the price.
Problem is that while Apple used to be considered a Gucci or Prada phone by the trendy rich Chinese, that time has passed - now they are pretty passe.
Not sure what the 5C is going to accomplish - an inferior phone that the rich chinese won't look at, and one that the masses of chinese who make an average of $2100 a year would never be able to afford.
