China’s largest telecom, China Unicom, plans to launch the latest version of iPhone in China next month, the AFP reports.
Furthermore, Chinese media report that China Unicom will also start distributing the iPad in China, although the time of launch is unknown at this point. Neither of these statements have been officially confirmed by China Unicom.
This is a good news for Chinese customers who’ve waited years to be able to legally buy the original iPhone. After initial hurdles, some of which had to do with the fact that the Chinese national standard for wireless networking is WAPI and not Wi-Fi, new versions of Apple’s phone are coming faster and faster to the world’s most populous nation.
Last month, China Unicom started offering the iPhone 3GS with wireless capability, and it seems that the iPhone 4 might come to China sooner than expected.
