The Chinese mobile service providers are going through a rather rough patch after Apple (NASDAQ:APPL) decided to put a hold on the release of the newly launched iPhone 6 in China. They have decided on a delayed introduction of the new phone in the country. Due to which, all the work done in preparation by the Chinese, has now gone to waste.

The Chinese mobile services, after having heard from representatives of Cupertino, decided to run campaigns to take the word around in their country. It has been decided by Apple (NASDAQ:APPL) that September 19^th will no longer be the day for China to meet the new launches. The advertising efforts planned by the Chinese were in vain since it was not in fact, a global launch.

There is immense disappointment in the Chinese service providers since they feel betrayed by Apple (NASQAD:APPL). Communication has sprung on both sides post the delay announcement; however, Apple’s (NASQAD:APPL) vague reasoning of certain details yet to be taken care of, has not helped the cause.

There is some news that suggests that the delay is to be blamed on the Chinese government, since they took longer than the deadline to get their network access permit through to the company. However, Apple (NASDAQ:APPL) has clarified that there is no truth in this assumption.

People in China who absolutely cannot stand to wait for Apple (NASDAQ:APPL) to let them legally own the brand new iPhone 6, are already opting for other ways. This traffic is now hitting the grey market. TechWeb also explains that diehard Apple (NASDAQ:APPL) fans are ready to pay way more – up to U.S. $ 4,890 – just to get their hands on the new gadget.

It is not just Chinese mobile carriers who had to suffer because of this delay. The South Korean consumers are also unable to get their hands on these latest Apple (NASDAQ:APPL) products. The home of Samsung Electronics Co. – Apple’s (NASDAQ:APPL) biggest rival in the market – has been avoiding the initial sale of Apple (NASDAQ:APPL) for a very long time.

Apple (NASDAQ:APPL) has recently released the iPhone 6; whish marks the eighth generation of iPhone, in an event that took place in Cupertino. On this event the CEO of the company, Tim Cook, released two new models of iPhone, namely iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus along with an Apple Smart iWatch.

Even though both the phones have some very impressive features, they still have to deal with a lot of competition from other rivals in market. Some mobile phones that are in competition with iPhone 6 include HTC One M8, LG G3, Samsung Galaxy S5, and Sony Xperia Z3. These are considered to be better that the previous iPhone 5s in terms of specifications – performance and power. To make sure that Apple (NASDAQ:APPL) stays on the top of their game it is important that they pull something far more impressive out of their bag.
