Professor Wei said the legitimate sales would cut into the smugglers’ profits but would not wipe them out. He said every aspect of the pricing and availability of the iPhone in China had been calculated to make it a highly sought product.
Most people in China can only dream of being able to afford an expensive phone. But millions of Chinese are developing a taste for luxury goods, and Apple products have joined Louis Vuitton bags as totems of wealth, said Shang-Jin Wei, director of the Jerome A. Chazen Institute of International Business at Columbia Business School.
"Apple knows exactly how much these products are selling for on the black market in China, and the company will price its products accordingly,” Professor Wei said. “Limiting the sale of the iPhone until now in China is likely part of a bigger corporate strategy to make it a luxury product that people will pay higher prices for.”

But on Saturday, when the iPhone goes on sale in China, it will have ripple effects abroad. This is already pushing down prices of smuggled phones.
The phones are shipped off to China, where the iPhone 4 is not yet on sale, and are distributed to local shops and e-commerce sites, where they sell for as much as $1,000.
