Shanghai Apple Store Turns Into a Public Telephone Booth

The Apple Store provides free phone calls on their demo iPhones for customers to experience the great product, but apparently this does not work well in Shanghai’s Apple Store. The Chinese customers are always visiting the Apple Store to make international calls with the demo iPhones, and they are taking this for granted. So, this shameful behavior had turned the Shanghai Apple Store into a public telephone booth…

The Apple Store in Shanghai is just like any Apple retail stores around the world, allowing customers to try the Apple products any way they like. Of course, you can try an iPhone in the store, and make calls with it. The Shanghai Apple Store allows customers to make any calls, including international calls, and there’s no time limit. So, there are some “smart” Chinese often visit the store, picking up the demo iPhones, and start making calls. Some of them even bring along a list of phone numbers… We can’t say this is shameful, but maybe lack of respect to the Apple experience.
