Apple Offers New IPhones For China’s Two Smaller Carriers
This article is for subscribers only.
Apple Inc. is offering its newest iPhones through China’s smaller wireless carriers and has yet to announce a deal with China Mobile Ltd., which has a customer base more than twice the size of the U.S. population.
The 5S and 5C models are being released for the networks of China Unicom (Hong Kong) Ltd. and China Telecom Corp. starting this month, Apple said on its China website after the handsets were unveiled by Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook. China Unicom, the second-largest domestic carrier, and No. 3 China Telecom already sell Apple handsets, with both operators dwarfed by China Mobile.
