We heard a lot of rumors last year that Apple was close to clinching a deal with China Mobile which would put its iPhones on the world’s largest mobile carrier, boasting more than 750 million subscribers. Late last month the deal was finally confirmed, China Mobile launches iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c on January 17th. It is expected that this deal will play out in Apple’s favor, the company is expected to sell as many as 20 million units on China Mobile alone in 2014. Apple CEO Tim Cook is certainly upbeat about this partnership, he’s “incredibly optimistic” about the deal and what it means for the future.

In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Cook says that this deal is just the beginning of Apple and China Mobile’s partnership, and that both of them can collaborate more in the future. On the other hand, China Mobile Chairman Xi Guohua has revealed that pre-release demand has pushed orders into multi-millions, only yesterday it was rumored that more than 1 million iPhone 5s units have been delivered to the carrier just to meet demand after the launch. Volume for next month’s shipment is currently unknown. It is expected that cellular compatible iPads may also be launched on China Mobile later this year. According to analysts, this deal might add a lot of green to Apple’s balance sheets.

Love or hate Apple, they are definitely a company worth keeping an eye on and come 2014, what could we expect from the Cupertino company? New MacBook refreshes? New iPhones? New iPads? Well whatever it is that Apple is planning on launching, an internal memo sent by Apple’s CEO, Tim Cook, to employees has revealed that come 2014, the Cupertino company has plans that he is sure customers are going to love. According to the memo, “We have a lot to look forward to in 2014, including some big plans that we think customers are going to love.”

We’re not sure if this is simply fluff that Cook is saying in a bid to boost employee morale, if he really is teasing that 2014 will be an exciting year for Apple. As it stands there are rumors that Apple could be launching new and improved products next year. We have heard how Apple could be attempting wearable tech in the form of the iWatch, and we have also heard how Apple’s iPhone 6 is rumored to sport a much larger display, and also how a 12.9” iPad is due in the second half of 2014 as well.

However these are merely rumors, but Apple users, at least some of them, have been clamoring for a larger iPhone for a while now, and if Apple were to do that, it would definitely make many users happy. Either way we’ll try not to read too much into this for now, but we can’t wait to see what 2014 has in store for us.
