I agree... and, obviously, so do quite a few others on here (re: comments on another thread the other day). Whether Apple starts selling them in China now or 4-6 months from now, the demand will be so heavy that it won't make a difference.
It would be quite important to get it in before the Chinese new year (Feb), a huge gift-giving season. The calendar year end is also big for gifts in China.

I think final approval will magically appear in about 2 months.
Blackrock is just one of a group of maybe less than 50 institutional investors that will be in on the IPO. Alibaba wants to keep availability of their stock tight initially to pump that price up.
Frankly, knowing what I know now about the massive levels of corruption in China has really soured me on China company stocks. I don't believe any of them are not cooking their books to one degree or another.

I have never read or heard of this. I only know about the red envelopes and gifts of fruit or candy, not the giving of portable consumer electronics.
Nothing unusual here other than typical Chinese bureaucracy. All past iPhones except the 5s were delayed in China, frequently waiting for regulatory approval.
It's because Apple didn't bribe them enough. You know in communist countries, money comes before the application can be looked at.

Alibaba.com going public is also a big gift.
Did you get in on the IPO? Probably the easiest way to get in on it is to buy Blackrock.
I didn't, but I do think they will prosper.
And thanks for mentioning Blackrock!

Portable electronics are fine... just not 4 of them... and don't give clocks, umbrellas, knives, towels....
