话题原文:
目前,中国年龄在18岁至30岁之间的人口数量约为2.7亿,该年龄段人群智能手机(smartphone)拥有率髙达92%,远髙于全球67%的平均水平。据统计,中国城镇居民全年人均(percapita)可支配收入(disposable income)为24565元,平均每月2047元,工作三个月才买得起一部5288元的iPhone 5。而2012年前10个月美国实际人均可支配收人为32653.1美元,平均每月3265美元,一个月就可以买16部199美元的iPhone 5。按此计算,美国在iPhone 5的消费力方面是中国的48倍,而智能手机普及率(coverage)仍被中国超过,由此可见中国人对智能手机的巨大热情。
