It's time for Apple to open up a Retail Store in Singapore. Just look at the amount resellers and the brand of their mobile devices. It's mind blowing.

That should read "$11.1 million per store" average annual revenue.

I can only fix the articles as they appear on the forum, not the site proper, but I'll definitely do it for the sake of the people here (I never go to appleinsider.com, anyway). Check my sig and give me a holler if you see similar elsewhere.

This is all coming a bit late to Hong Kong in a way. Samsung phablets and smartphones are getting very very popular here, it is uncommon where I work to see iPhones except in the hands or westerners. Most of the local Chinese people are going for the Samsungs. I suspect this is to do with the fact that people want less devices and bigger screens as they live in fairly confined places. It's a psycology, it's efficiency. Mainland china is different as people a poor and there is still a prestige with Apple there. Hong Kong has moved on. Note the lack of crowds at the stores.

That doesn't sound like logic.

I don't see why. I've lived in HK for 15 years and do business on the mainland. They are vastly different places. The mainland is a backward place compared to Hong Kong's legacy of modern liberal education and its British style institutions and public service. I'd you've been to both places only once you would see the difference is immense. Hong Kongers see themselves as the civilized part of China, and rightly so. And they have moved on to the next big thing.

So, the iPhone, then.

Unless you mean literally "big", as in "5" phones compensating for inadequate hardware and software", in which case they probably won't like the Galaxy whatever Mini.

You may not like it but you really wouldn't know what is happening in Hong Kong, now would you? The iPhone is not in the running here as the "next big thing". People are moving to Samsung and other Android devices very quickly. Fact. There is a big wide world out there.

And they'll move away just as quickly. Price.
