    Interesting, I would have expected iOS to have a greater share in Urban China, considering Apple products being a status symbol and all.

    Yep, but that's a Y/Y increase of 21.9% as well, no negligible penetration at all in 2011, according to the chart.

    Because the working class that bought the IPhone 4(s) are saving up for their next big purchase.

    And probably wouldn't be an IPhone 5 since in Cn at least is just 1/2" screen larger but essentially the same product. Cn does not have 4g LTE-- that's why Apple wants to deal with Cn mobile for access to Cn's version of LTE (which began testing at the 2010 Shanghai's World Expo).
