Possible iTunes Music Store launching in China?
For being Apple's second largest market, China's iTunes store only sells apps. Compared to India, where sales of the iPhone are not as immense, it's iTunes store offers music and movies for sale.
In the past two years we have seen Apple pushing and launching its music service to parts of Africa, Middle East, India, Eastern Europe, South East Asia, and Latin America.
Will China be the next market iTunes music will launch next? The rumors started last February of this year in Chinese websites due to image (displayed above) offering the iTunes cards. The image mentions of the ability of purchasing apps, music and other items on the iTunes store. This image caused some people to speculate of the possibility of a Chinese iTunes music store.
As Apple is preparing to debut its new products and services this coming fall, will the iTunes music store in China be introduced in the same time? As more rumors and components leaks to the new budget iPhone come out it seems probable that Apple is trying to link the music store to the new budget product to have a far more reaching client base.
Yet there is a chance iTunes Music Store China may not become a reality. One of of the reasons why is due to the Chinese government's role in media and trying to filter some products, especially foreign content reaching the Chinese masses.
Whatever Apple may bring this fall, be it a Chinese iTunes store, I will be waiting excitedly for the new products, services and iOS coming from them this fall.
