From the pictures he took and what he wrote a majority of the store was dedicated to Apple. While this is only one store it is a positive indication that China Mobile could aggressively market iPhones and iPads.
The price for an iPhone 5s is 4,380 Chinese Yuan which is $721 (a 16GB unlocked model in the U.S is $649) and a 5c is shown at 3,380 Chinese Yuan or $557 (a 16GB unlocked model in the U.S. is $549). There were no pictures with iPad pricing.
What I can’t tell is if there is any contract commitment required for this price and it is also a bit interesting that the price is on a handwritten piece of paper compared to the very good marketing material on display. It looks like the pricing was either decided at the last minute or kept under wraps so much that properly printed pricing was not distributed prior to the launch (which has still not officially occurred).
