Apple has implemented a Hong Kong iPhone lottery system to deal with “with an influx of grey marketers and incidents of repeated violence over sales of the iPhone 4S in Hong Kong,” reports “AppleInsider” (http://www.appleinsider.com).

An update to the electronic’s maker’s Hong Kong web site now presents customers with a lottery system, by which they have three hours each day to place a request for a specific iPhone model, the article adds.


”AppleInsider” says customers who are selected will receive an email that evening with instructions on picking up their iPhone at a specific time the following day. The Apple Store IFC Mall in Hong Kong has since halted sales to walk-in customers, deferring all local customers to the new system.
