Iphone's in China

Apple is the worlds largest smartphone vendor. But in china it has yet to catch on. China is the worlds most populated country, which recently topped one billion mobile users. In China Samsung holds 24.3% of mobile users to Apple's 7.5%. The reason Samsung is bigger than Apple in china is that Samsung has deals with three of China’s 3G mobile networks, Apple only has two. And that missing third deal is a very significant one with China’s largest carrier, China Mobile, which has about 655 million subscribers. Apple has been in talks with China Mobile to bring the iPhone to its network, but discussions have been difficult because the carrier wants to be given a cut of Apple's App Store revenues.
