iPhone Loses To Blackberry In China?
January 18, 2008 | by Christopher Nickson
Talks between Apple and provider China Mobile have broken down over revenue, while the provider has struck a deal with RIM for the Blackberry.
Don’t look for the iPhone in China anytime soon. Talks between the company giant provider, China Mobile, which has a staggering 332 million customers, and Apple have broken down, Vnunet has reported.
The source of the breakdown, unsurprisingly, is money. It’s understood that Apple wanted as much as 30% of the revenue from iPhone sales, which China Mobile rejected.
At the same time, RIM has secured a deal for its Blackberry with China Mobile, and is expected to go on sale before the end of January. However, given the cheaper price of native competitor Redberry, from China Unicom, sales might not be as high as hoped.
