BEIJING?- Apple's Chinese partner says it will sell iPhones with Wi-Fi starting Monday.

Unicom will sell eight-gigabyte iPhones with third-generation service and Wi-Fi throughout 皇冠体育app starting Monday, a company spokesman, Wen Baoqiu, said Friday.

Wi-Fi is a part of the iPhone's appeal elsewhere and allows phones to use free wireless networks in cafes and offices to download e-mail and the latest applications.
