To get an iPhone that works in China, one must subscribe to China Unicom, the 2nd-largest carrier in the largest country in the world. That may not be enough to quench their thirst if recent statements by investment bank Morgan Stanley is to be believed.

Late Sunday, Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty informed investors that the untapped market in China for the iPhone may be a target the company will pursue “over the next year.” Their sites are set on the largest and 3rd-largest carriers, China Mobile and China Telecom. The move could mean as many as 40 million units sold in 2013.
