Apple Inc. used to make its China fans wait three months to get the latest iPhone. Now the company can’t afford to leave them behind.

For the first time, Apple will release its newest handsets in China on the same day as the U.S., Europe and Japan. The iPhone 5s and lower-cost 5c go on sale today at 8 a.m. in Apple’s 11 stores in China and Hong Kong as the company tries to boost sagging market share in the world’s most populous nation.
