More secret testing iPhone compatibility

Latest news shows, China Unicom has in places such as Henan, Hebei and quietly on the iPhone for testing.

In media interviews, China Unicom insiders disclosed to Hebei iPhone test is Hebei China Unicom's mobile network company, only a few major persons know this, but it is not clear test of concrete progress.

As China Unicom has begun in some urban building 3 g network, Hebei China Unicom's test content is likely to be iPhone and WCDMA network compatibility.

For these rumors, China Unicom official did not give any comments.

However, journalists still from a corporate involvement in iPhone test confirmed that as early as in Hebei area before tests, China Unicom has convened in Shenzhen on iPhone and WCDMA network compatibility has been tested. As a result of the test results basically satisfied with the introduction of iPhone, China Unicom and Apple has reached a preliminary agreement.

Unicom for high-end data users

Judging from the present situation, in the United States market, the iPhone and the carrier bundle price of $ 199, but only in the Chinese mainland, crack version of parallel imports more than iPhone price basic RMB 4000.

If the price is too high, it is difficult to accept the Mainland consumers; if the price with the United States, the operators will pay a heavy subsidies. So in the final price of the iPhone, Apple and China Unicom will also undergo a series of intense negotiations.
