TECHi's Take
The recent launch of the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c on China Mobile is causing a ripple effect across the mobile industry in China. Competitors, fearing that China Mobile—the world’s largest wireless carrier—may steal customers, are starting to drop prices. Until now, China Unicom had a strong foothold in China because it, and China Telcom, were the two only carriers to offer the device.
