3GS price drops as iPhone 4 begins domestic pre-orders

The Apple iPhone 4 had just been released, and the gray market quickly responded. A reporter discovered yesterday on Taobao that many sellers have already begun taking pre-orders for the iPhone 4. One seller, who has a physical store near Han Zhong Road, posted the pre-order price on their online store, with the 32GB version priced at 7888 yuan. The seller also provided a link on their online store to accept deposits. As the newest member of the Apple iPhone family, the iPhone 4's support for video calls is one of the features most anticipated by "Apple fans" (though video calls currently only support WiFi). According to the plan, the iPhone 4 will go on sale in the United States starting on the 24th of this month. According to the Taobao seller, buyers who pay a deposit will likely receive their product around the end of this month, with the actual price potentially seeing slight fluctuations, "but it should not differ much from the pre-order price announced online."
