由于iPhone需求火爆，苹果香港近日推出了“摇号”预订系统，欲购买iPhone的消费者需先在其官网上填写注册信息，被苹果“选中”后方可购买。

Think lining1 up overnight for an iPhone launch is bad? Try snagging a new iPhone 4S in Hong Kong, where Apple recently implement2ed（实施，执行） a lottery4 system in an effort to combat scalping（黄牛） . If you're in Hong Kong and want the newest iPhone iteration, forget waking up early to be the first person outside an Apple Store — the company doesn't sell any to walk-in customers. You have to first join a lottery on the company's website and then win before you can even be eligible5 to buy a unit.

The recent iPhone 4S launch in mainland China was riddled6 with scalpers, and one particular incident in Beijing even turned into a brawl7（争吵） fest. This new system is super strict, with the lottery remaining open to entries for only three hours each day. Winners get an email before 9 PM, and they can claim their iPhone 4S units the next day provided they have a government-issued photo ID with the same name and serial8 number they submitted to the lottery.

No word yet on whether Apple will implement this lottery system elsewhere, though it may subsequently be used in places where scalping is rampant9（猖獗的） .
