Apple is fighting back to keep its strong position in this fast-growing smartphone market. The iPhone's voice activated assistant Siri now speaks Chinese. Apple also sells iPhones through two mobile carriers, China Telecom and China Unicom. Unicom started taking online reservations for the iPhone 5 and received 300,000 pre-orders for the gadget in the first week, according to its official microblog on Sina Weibo, China's version of Twitter. Analysts though are hoping Apple will work out an agreement to sell the iPhone through the country's biggest cellphone operator, China Mobile, to get access to the Chinese carrier's 700 million users. Despite the increasing rivalry with local players, Wang thinks Apple will continue to win over Chinese with its American ingenuity. He already owns an iPad and an iTouch. "I've always liked this brand because it's from America," he said. nbcnews.com
