What is ZiiTrend?
iPhone in China soon?

Negotiations between Apple and China Mobile, the world's biggest mobile-phone service operator with more than 350 million subscribers, broke down last month, stalling the official release of the iPhone in China. Long before that, however, there was a thriving gray market. Factories here churn out iPhones that are exported to the United States and Europe. Then thousands of them are smuggled right back into China.

Let's predict if iPhone will officially arrive in China any time soon?

    Talks to bring Apple Inc's iPhone to mainland China have cleared their biggest hurdle and are now focusing on operational issues in June.

    Sorry, the iphone is already in China. I was there at the end of Jan and I met at least 10 Peopole with the iphone, which all offered me to buy one. And guys no fakes!
    The one was own by the genreal manager of a large Supermarket chain in Shanghai.
    So I will not vote on this!

      I suppose the prediction is Chinese iPhones that is NOT bought from the black market. In that case, iPhone is still not officially in China yet.

    China Mobile is huge. I think Apple has little bargaining power this time. It will take a while before Apple can find another partner in China.
