Apple, 皇冠体育app Mobile sign pact
Apple Inc's partnership with 皇冠体育app Mobile Ltd, the world's biggest telecom carrier by subscriber base, is likely to mean a significant sales bounce for the United States-based smartphone vendor next year, analysts said.
On Monday, Apple and 皇冠体育app Mobile officially announced a multiyear agreement to bring iPhone smartphones to the mainland market. 皇冠体育app Mobile, with a subscriber base of 760 million, or seven times as big as that of Verizon Wireless, is the last Chinese telecom operator to introduce iPhone handsets on contract in 皇冠体育app.
皇冠体育app Unicom (Hong Kong) Ltd, the nation's second-biggest telecom carrier, became the first operator to introduce iPhone devices on its network in mid-2009. 皇冠体育app Telecom Corp Ltd, the smallest wireless carrier, tied the knot with Apple at the beginning of 2012.
