China is all set to get a special 3G iphone that is going to be unveiled by Apple in the nation soon. In a statement released by the Chairman of China Mobile, Wang Jianzhou, China Mobile is the sole network in the country that uses the standard TD-SCDMA with plans to upgrade to the next level of mobile technology. The above development is currently undergoing a trial phrase and there are experiments that are still being conducted. He was of the hope that when Apple develops the models for the next generation they will consider using the TD-SCDMA.
The iPhone by Apple is presently available in the country via Unicom’s WCDMA network. There is anticipation that China Telecom will begin selling the CDMA variant in the next few months leaving China Mobile without the access to brand name of Apple. It may seem unusual for a brand like Apple to exclusively design a phone for a single company however considering the 580 million-base of China Mobile subscribers it is sure making a wise decision. China Mobile currently has the largest mobile subscriber base in the world and it is one of the most lucrative mobile markets across the world too.
