UPDATE: The ratio of Asian Americans in Soho dropped visibly Sunday after Chinese customs officials were reported to be confiscating grey market iPhones. Meanwhile a reader in Berlin writes that the lines there were dominated by Russians and Poles buying for resale in their respective home markets.
