The Chinese have a curious take on intellectual property and retail. For example, if you desperately need to be one of the first people to own Apple’s next-generation iPhone, you can actually preorder the “iPhone 5″ from a Chinese website. Right now. Today.

 

You can place your bet — er, preorder — on Taobao with a deposit of 1,000 yuan (about £102). Taobao is actually a clearing house for various retailers, and some of its retail partners will even let you buy the non-existent and completely unannounced phone outright. Just pay 6,999 yuan (£711) up front to reserve your Apple handset. Taobao is a division of Alibaba group.

 

The opportunity to preorder highly anticipated Apple gear is undoubtedly more useful to folks in China or other countries than UK buyers.
