Chinese Riot, Egg Apple Stores iPhone Sellout
There was much ado about the iPhone 4S arriving in China on Friday. Perhaps a little too much ado as riots broke out in front of some Apple stores and Chinese consumers launched eggs at the buildings after the popular handset sold out.Much like in the U.S., Chinese consumers flocked to Apple stores in droves to be among the first to get their hands on the iPhone 4S, with its 1080p HD video recording and Siri intelligent assistant.
Before the launch, Apple CEO Tim Cook said: "Customer response to our products in China has been off the charts. With the launch in China next week, iPhone 4S will be available in over 90 countries, making this our fastest iPhone rollout ever."

"To ensure the safety of our customers and employees, [the] iPhone will not be available in our retail stores in Beijing and Shanghai for the time being," the Times reported Carolyn Wu, an Apple spokeswoman in Beijing, as saying. Apparently, Apple's five authorized stores in China sold out.
That led to an angry mob. Many consumers had reportedly waited overnight to get the iPhone 4S, and when the disappointing news arrived they started launching eggs at the store and assaulting the mall manager, according to the Times.
Not Apple's Fault "When you have a few hundred angry Chinese migrant workers who were paid to stand in line become afraid that if you don't open the doors they are not going to get paid, they get angry," said Avi Greengart, an analyst...
