I-phone was invented last year,and until now,it is sold only in a few developed countries,such as America,Germany,Australia,and so on.It is still not sold in China.China is the world’s biggest cellphone market,as there are about 5.3 billion people own the cellphone.So for i-phone company,they have to sell the cellphone in China to get more profit.Because i-phone needs a very good internet support and a good seller,they want to work with China mobile,but they asked China mobile to give them 20%-30% profits every year.Of couse,as a result,China mobile refused this requirement.The speaker of China mobile said Apple company wants to control the whole market,but it is impossible in China.And he also said Apple’s products are good ,but it doesn’t mean they also good at communication,whereas,China mobile is really good at it.So China mobile thought this plan cannot be accepted and it’s hard to let both companies get profit.In my view,it seems that i-phone still has a very long road need to go,because their market strategy in China is not very popular and may be it is difficult to continue…
