China Mobile has resumed talks with Apple about launching iPhone in China.
The two have been in discussions before but came to stalemate over Apple’s insistence on subscription revenue sharing. It now appears to have relented. "The talks with Apple to launch the iPhone device in China have resumed because Apple is not insisting on revenue-sharing anymore," China Mobile spokeswoman Rainie Lei is quoted as saying.
Clearly China Mobile, with over 400m subs and climbing, would be a major prize for Apple even without the rev share. Neither party has suggested a timetable for launch.
