Fans out in full force to welcome Apple's latest

After a month of waiting, US tech giant Apple Inc' latest iPhones have finally arrived on the Chinese mainland.

Originally released in the US and other select markets in late September, the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus mark the fourth official iPhone release on the mainland since the iPhone 4.

On Friday morning, around 100 excited Apple aficionados were queuing outside the company's flagship Beijing store in Sanlitun as its doors opened. Most had ordered online and were there in person to enjoy the handover.
