A 16 GB iPhone 5 costs more than 6,000 yuan online, about 1,000 yuan higher than Apple's official price; but in one online store, more than 50 customers have already booked one.
"You don't need to queue all night, and worry about someone taking your spot when you go to the restroom - we'll send your iPhone 5 straight to you once it comes to the market," said an ad on Taobao.
When the US company released its iPhone 4, hundreds of Chinese spent the whole night waiting in front of Apple stores to buy one of the popular handsets.
In July, Apple announced it sold 26 million iPhones in the quarter ended June 30.
Its release of the iPhone 5 on Wednesday could materially affect US gross domestic product in the fourth quarter of the year, according to JPMorgan Chase analyst Michael Feroli, who estimates the new version will add 0.25 to 0.5 percent to the country's year-on-year growth rate.
The Chinese mainland has always been the last region to get Apple's products.
"I booked an iPhone 5 online because I don't think Apple will release it in the Chinese mainland at the same time as the US and Hong Kong," said one Taobao customer who just pre-ordered one online. "Gray market dealers are always faster than official stores."
