Report: China Unicom to hold iPhone talks with Apple

13.02.2009

One of the main sticking points between Apple and China Mobile was the Apple Store, which the company uses to sell and distribute third-party applications, Sina reported. This was a sales channel that China Mobile, which has its own plans for an application store. did not want to yield to Apple's control.

For this reason, a deal to bring the iPhone to China will likely involve significant concessions from China Unicom to meet Apple's requirements, the report said.
