iPhone 5C is ready for shipment to China

Apple is ready to begin delivering the iPhone to China Mobile, China. This is reported by the business publication Wall Street Journal, citing its sources. However, it is additionally reported that so far there is no complete clarity whether an agreement has been signed between Apple and China Mobile. On the way are technical difficulties. The fact is that China Mobile has a very peculiar 3G network. Earlier it was reported that sales of new versions of the iPhone will begin in China on November 28, 2013

Instead of conventional HSPA or CDMA, the operator uses its proprietary TD-SCDMA format. This means that the phone manufacturers who want to cooperate with China Mobile are forced to separately provide technical support for the network of this operator.

According to "one of the sources" of the Wall Street Journal, Apple asked Foxconn, the company engaged in the production of phones ordered by Cupertini, to add China Mobile to the list of operators that will deliver the budget iPhone, better known as iPhone 5C.

Some companies, such as Apple, did not want to get involved with unnecessary difficulties and preferred other Chinese operators China Unicom and China Telecom. However, the situation has now changed somewhat. China Mobile uses more or less standard LTE implementation as its 4G network. This means that manufacturers are easier to offer this operator their phones.

China Mobile is the largest cellular operator of our planet. More than 700 million subscribers use its services. And Apple has to use every opportunity to expand its share of the Chinese mobile phone market. Currently, Samsung smartphones are pushing the iPhone out of this market.
