Exhibit 41 Apple Takes Its iPad to China - WSJ.com Page 1 of 3 SEPTEMBER 13, 2010 Apple Takes Its iPad to China Wi-Fi Version of The Device to Go on Sale Beginning Friday, Five Months After U.S. Launch By BEIJING—Apple Inc. said it plans to begin official sales of the iPad tablet computer this week in China, the company's latest move to expand its retail offerings in a market it had long neglected. $699. But it's less than the price Chinese users have been paying to buy iPads on the gray market, where they run as much as $1,000. The Cupertino, Calif., company plans to open 25 new Apple stores in China by the end of next year, in a push to expand in a market where it has less than 1% share of all personal computer shipments-far less than it enjoys in the U.S. Associated Press The iPad may drive more users to Apple's App Store, which isn't as popular among Chinese iPhone users as users elsewhere because it isn't available in Chinese, and because users must have dual-currency credit cards to make purchases in the store. Many users, who have opted to hack their iPhones in order to use them in China, use pirated applications or applications provided by independent application stores instead. Apple said Monday that Wi-Fi models of the iPad will be available to customers through its two Apple stores in China and through authorized resellers, beginning Friday at 10 a.m. Until now, users in China have bought iPads brought into the country by traders on the country's flourishing gray market, in which prices are high. An Apple spokeswoman declined to say when the company might release a version of the iPad with cellular capabilities. Mobile operator China Unicom (Hong Kong) Ltd., Apple's iPhone partner in China, has said it is interested in carrying the device. As with many foreign electronics products, the iPad's price will be higher in China than in the U.S. A pple said it will charge from 3,988 yuan ($590), for the 16-gigabyte iPad, to 5,588 yuan ($826), for the 64-gigabyte model. That's a premium of about 18% over the U.S. price of between $499 and The planned rollout of the iPad for China comes five months after the tablet computer launched in the U.S. That's a faster turnaround than for the iPhone, which was released in 2007 in the U.S. but wasn't officially released in China until last October. When it finally launched in China, the iPhone was sold without wireless Internet http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703466704575489534160825098.html 6/30/2011 Apple Takes Its iPad to China - WSJ.com Page 2 of 3 capabilities at first because of Chinese regulatory hurdles. Apple has sold only the iPhone 3G and 3GS in China, and hasn't yet announced plans to launch the iPhone 4. China is the world's largest cellphone market by users and the second largest personal computer market by unit sales, after the U.S. As of the second quarter, Apple was the fifth-largest smartphone vendor in China with 7.1% of shipments, according to research firm Analysys International. Nokia Corp. had 27%, Samsung Electronics Co. had 18%, Motorola Inc. had 14%, and Sony Ericsson had 9%. Research firm IDC estimates that 26 million smartphones will be sold in China in 2010.
