&http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/37954.html ">nbsp; "Technology News" December 7, the world's most users of mobile phone operators, China Mobile, said yesterday that Apple and its signature of the final iphone sales agreement, must first talk about the profit-sharing details. Li, China Mobile's chief executive, said at a developer conference in Guangzhou that the technical problems associated with the 3G network standards were not the only obstacle to the signing of the iphone agreement between Apple and Mobile. "In addition to technical problems, the business model and profit-sharing issues need to be further negotiated between the two sides," Li said. ”

Since Apple has yet to sign a partnership agreement with China Mobile, the iphone smartphone cannot still be used by a large number of Chinese users, but the two big competitors in the Chinese market have already started selling iphones. There are also news that Nokia will start selling its flagship smartphone by the end of the year in a mobile network.

As of the end of October this year, Mobile has a total of 703 million users, of which 79.3 million users use high-speed third-generation services, this service also allows smartphones to surf the internet faster than the ordinary internet.

At present, both China Unicom and Chinese telecom have started to operate Apple's iphone smartphone, and the new iphone 5 smartphone will start selling on the two companies ' networks next week. News of China Mobile and Nokia teaming up to launch new smartphones on the day, the US's top-stock Apple tumbled 6.4%, its biggest decline in four years, and a record 35 billion trillion dollars in its daily market capitalisation.

Nokia's U.S.-listed shares rose 13% strongly on the day the company plunged. Nokia has less than 15 billion dollars in market capitalisation. In other words, Apple has dropped "two Nokia" in one day.

Analysts believe that although Apple has signed an iphone sales agreement with China Telecom and Unicom, it has not yet reached a similar deal with the industry leader, China Mobile. This has led some investors to worry that Nokia will be one step ahead of Apple's important market in China.
