Steven Millward, Tech in Asia:

There are already huge queues outside of China’s five official Apple stores in readiness for tomorrow’s launch of the iPhone 4S. At the two stores in Beijing, and the three in Shanghai, there are clearly lines stretching hundreds of meters, with reports of hundreds of queuers at each, snaking around city blocks.

The iPhone 4S will be available online, but that hasn’t deterred many Chinese from braving the sub-zero temperatures to line up at Apple Retail Stores.

If you think iPhone sales in the US are huge, wait until Apple fully breaks into a market of one billion people.
