Apple eyes new stores in two Chinese cities as iPad suit continues

Opening stores in Shenzhen and Chengdu will be a big boost for Apple's China business, which currently has only five stores on the mainland, three in Shanghai and two in Beijing.

In April, Apple reported quarterly profit that almost doubled after a jump in iPhone sales, particularly for the greater China region.
But the possibility of selling iPads in Shenzhen could lead to more legal action after Roger Xie, a lawyer for Proview Technology (Shenzhen), told Reuters that if Apple tried to sell the popular tablets there, Proview would seek an injunction to stop them.
Apple and Proview are battling it out in the Higher People's Court in Guangzhou over the right to use the iPad trademark, which Proview contends it owns. Xie said both sides are currently undergoing court-mediated negotiations.

Apple's flagship stores are normally packed with people tinkering with the latest iPad or iPhone and its product launches draw huge crowds. But the company faces the problem of unauthorized re-sellers in less wealthy cities selling smuggled imports of its products.

Apple also faces a huge amount of piracy, a problem so pervasive in China that even entire fake Apple stores have been created where employees thought they actually worked for Apple.

Apple submitted documents on Monday to the Shenzhen government to open a store in Holiday Plaza, an upscale mall in the Nanshan district, according to an official with the Market Supervision Administration who would only give his last name as Ni."Apple is in the final stage and only needs to submit an environmental permit in order to gain approval," he said.



In Chengdu, in southwestern China, Apple received approval in late May to set up a business unit to handle retail sales and after-sales service, according to an official with the Chengdu Industry and Commerce Administration bureau.

An Apple spokeswoman declined to comment. Apple's China website showed that the company was hiring Apple Store sales staff in Chengdu and Shenzhen

The Nest Thermostat Is Now for Sale at Apple Stores

The Nest thermostat -- the "iPod of thermostats," as some have called it -- now has more than elegant design in common with the music player. On Wednesday, it went on sale at Apple stores. 

Apple is selling the thermostat for $249.95, the same price at which it is available in Lowe's stores and on the Nest website.

The thermostat saves money and energy by automatically learning user behavior and adjusting itself accordingly. It can be controlled remotely via a Wi-Fi connection (there's an iOS app for that), and it’s easier to read, adjust and install than most other programmable thermostats.

All this, and it’s a looker, too. Its jewel shape and bright-colored screen depart pleasantly from the beige boxes that dominate thermostat tech.

Nest's connection with Apple runs deeper than a retail partnership. One of Nest Lab's founders, Tony Fadell, oversaw 18 generations of the iPod as a vice president at the company. The other, Matt Rogers, worked on iPod software. After Nest was sued by Honeywell for patent infringement in February, the startup hired Apple's former chief intellectual property officer, Richard Lutton Jr., as its general counsel.

Apple stores carry other third-party products such as headphones, cases, software and keyboards, but Nest is its first home gadget.
