Apple’s new holiday ad has been called, in turn, endearing, note-perfect, and, in a spasm of enthrallment, perhaps Apple’s best iPhone commercial ever. I think maybe I saw a different ad.

With the end of 2013 closing in, Apple’s annual App Store and iTunes numbers are in, and among them we find an eclectic mix of apps, albums, movies, books, and other varied content categories. Not surprisingly, “Candy Crush” topped the free iPhone apps chart, beating out Google’s YouTube app and similar, while Macklemore makes a […]

China Mobile currently plays host to over 750 million subscribers in China, easily making them the largest carrier in the country, and potentially the world as well, which is why we’re not surprised that Apple is eager to enter into a deal with them in which it would see more iPhones being sold, but how many iPhones could be sold if the deal were to be a success? Well according to AlphaWise and Morgan Stanley Research, they claim that at the very least, the deal would see Apple sell 12 million units, if not more come 2014.

The 12 million units is thought to be a “base case” scenario, but on a more optimistic note, analyst Katy Huberty thinks that the deal with China Mobile would allow Apple to sell an additional 23 million iPhones next year, just in the Chinese market alone. On a more pessimistic note, Huberty notes that Apple could sell 5 million units. As it stands China Mobile does play host to a number of unlocked iPhones, although a deal with the carrier would undoubtedly entice more customers to come on board with the carrier, while allowing Apple to tap into China Mobile’s massive subscriber base. No word on when the deal could be finalized as last we heard, it was still in negotiation.

When it comes to the enterprise market, is there one particular platform that might be favored over the other? A few years the debate wouldn’t even have been there as BlackBerry would have easily reigned supreme, but with the company taking several hits as of late, confidence in the company has since been shaken, leading businesses to consider alternatives. According to a new study by Microsoft Exchange services, Intermedia, it has been found that as far as its Microsoft Exchange-based network is concerned, iOS devices account for about 76% of all small- and medium-business activations since 2013.

This suggests around 190,000 iPhone and iPads in total, compared against the likes of Android devices from Samsung and other manufacturers which accounts for about 29,000 total activations. Interestingly enough despite the infographic above showing that Windows Phone accounts for a mere 1% of the study, it has been found that the amount has actually been doubled, but was still too little to account for much, but still a good sign nonetheless for the platform which is competing against BlackBerry at the moment. Will this trend change in the future? Perhaps, but for now it looks like iOS is in the lead. What do you guys think? Are you finding the prevalence of iOS devices in your workplace?
