Remember how Hong Kong iPhone 4 users earned big profits by reselling their iPhones to the gray market dealers? Well, that crazy scalping business somehow maintained for 8 months, since Apple intermittently suspended sales of the iPhone 4 in the region, presumably in response to incredible demand. Today, surprisingly, iPhone 4 supply stabilizes in Hong Kong, and the popular smartphone is now regularly available on the Apple online store in Hong Kong, with wait times of 1–3 business days.

Chinese Apple fanboys are happy to hear this. Recently, the Chinese government has granted China Compulsory Certification (3C) to Apple’s iPad 2. Well, for those who are not aware, since May 1st, 2002, China has required a mandatory license (3C) to sell a product in China. The license will be issued to a product after passing a series of test and this certificate will be valid for five years. So, iPad 2 is now approved to be sold in the country with the license, and has a validity of five years, expiring on April 8, 2016. One more thing, with this 3C license, it tells us that the iPad 2 could be available locally in a matter of months. Just. Be. Patient.
