iPhone coming to China Unicom in Q4 — it’s official (updated)
Posted in: Apple, iPhone, iphone 3g, Iphone3g, Today's Chili
And now it’s official: China Unicom has struck a 3-year exclusive deal to finally bring the iPhone to China’s massive subscriber-base potential. The carrier will offer two different “3G iPhones” to its 141 million subscribers and it will buy the phones wholesale from Apple — no revenue sharing deal here kids. Neither Apple nor China Unicom will reveal specs on the phones (WiFi?) or pricing. So that’s it, short and sweet after what feels like years of rumors. But really, unless you live in China and subscribe to China Unicom what else is there to know?
Update: There was apparently an error in the WSJ piece — the deal is not exclusive to China Unicom.
