The California based company said that it would hold three “flash sales” to its consumers in China on November 1 to provide the first product run. The new devices would come with a price tag between 8,999 and 12,999 yuan ($1,290 to $1,863; £1,011 to £1,460) based on the memory and the storage specifications selected by the users. Also, the company said that it would also like to offer a slightly different version of the device to the developers across the globe the same day.
