Today, Apple’s popular iPhone 5 officially goes on sale in mainland China, and both China Unicom and China Telecom also start offering the iPhone 5 to customers.

No one camped outside the stores during the night, and perhaps Apple is happy to see no scuffles breaking out between security and shoppers today.
