iPhone 4S Gets Chinese Certification, Mainland Sales To Start January 2012 [Apple's Wildly Popular New Phone Will Land On Chinese Shelves Starting Early Next Year Following Government Approval]

Well, that?s pretty much it, folks; the iPhone 4S, which launched just a couple short months ago, has just picked up the necessary network access permits to get in on the shelves at China Unicom. We first filled you in on Apple?s permit odyssey back in late November, and now, with only a few days left to the month, Apple can get in on one of the biggest phone sellers in China, which in its own right, is a pretty big smartphone market.

According to reports, China?s various regulatory bodies have all issued the necessary certifications to get China into the big show over the last several days, and now, the iPhone 4S?model number A1431 in China?is now ready to go.

China is a massive market for Apple product, sufficiently massive, in fact, that back in Apple?s June quarterly earnings, we discovered that Apple sold fully $3.8 billion in goods. And bringing the iPhone 4S?which already did land-office business in several Asian markets like Hong Kong and Shanghai?to China Unicom will no doubt bring massive sales Apple?s way. After all, not only is China Unicom the third largest cell phone carrier in China, it?s still basically the mainland?s largest carrier of iPhones.

There were, earlier, stirrings of a deal between Apple and China Mobile as well, but when China Mobile demanded a cut of Apple?s App Store sales to make the deal happen, that wasn?t really heard from again. However, considering that Apple?s now got a deal in hand with China Unicom, getting China Mobile to back off its original demands may not be too difficult. And getting both China Unicom and China Mobile in hand will likely put some serious punch in Apple?s sales in the Chinese market, which is, thanks to its substantial population numbers, a huge market.

So what do you guys think here? Will the iPhone 4S be a big part of the Chinese market? Or will Apple have to settle for relatively slim numbers in their sales in the Middle Kingdom? No matter what your stance on this one, we always like hearing from you, and the comments section is the best place we can think of to do exactly that.
