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） .
