Apple out to expand core business

Millions of Apple iPhones and iPads are playing an increasing role in the daily lives of Chinese, and the company that recently became the world’s biggest by market value is now expanding its reach into the world’s biggest wireless market by users.

Besides the possible iPhone 5 debut next month, Chinese Apple fans have something else to whet their appetites. They will be able to buy new gadgets, including a digital stylus, personal blood pressure monitors and a golf lessons device, through Apple retail and online stores by the end of this year.

Apple itself does not make all the new devices, but all are designed for iPhones and iPads, with both hardware and applications on them.
