The Apple iPhone 3G and China, the big debate continues and had been going on ever since the Apple iPhone 3G was launched, but there is now a whisper that maybe Apple has finally cracked the Chinese market.
According to Shanghai Daily a deal between Apple and China Unicom is close to being finalised. China Unicom is China’s 2nd largest carrier that will have a functional WCDMA network operational in May.
Apple had originally negotiated with China Mobile to bring the Apple iPhone to China but negotiations failed. Still only a whisper at the moment but if China Unicom does launch the Apple iPhone it will be made available to in excess of 130 million potential customers.
