Although the iphone 5 related design and technical parameters have been constantly exposed, but still attracted by the fruit powder and sought after, there are analysis that its September global sales may exceed 10 million units.

It is reported that the IPhone 5 for the first time based on the Nano-sim standard technology of mobile phone cards, and the current three major operators in China have not used the card.

The Nano SIM card was first submitted by Apple to the European Telecommunication Standards Association (ETSI) in May this year and was accepted by ETSI in June. At present only Apple supports the Nano SIM card standard, Nokia, BlackBerry and Motorola support Micro SIM card.

The iphone 5, the first to use the 12mmx9mm's nano SIM card, is smaller than the iphone 4 Micro SIM and is 15% thinner (0.67 mm), so it is not possible to convert the Micro SIM card to the Nano SIM card via the traditional cutting card mode. , unless the thickness is thinned by other means.

However, Chinese operators reacted fairly quickly. After Apple released the iphone 5 less than 24 hours later, Guangdong Mobile's global Brand said via the official microblog that Nano-sim card is on sale in China Mobile.

Unless you buy Hong's iphone 5, which is a combination of mobile and China Unicom's nano SIM card, users in Guangdong will be able to use the iphone 5 next week.

According to Apple's Hong Kong website, the IPhone 5 is priced at HK $5588 (about 4560 yuan) for the Hong 16GB version.

Industry analysts said Tencent technology, mobile and Apple iphone has been the earliest, but has not been formally introduced. When the previous iphone was launched, Mobile was also the first to launch a corresponding micro SIM, the only company that was introduced to the iphone's China Unicom, and released the Ready Nano SIM card, but also in order to grab the color, but not too much, The aim should be experience-oriented and lay the foundation for subsequent 4G user development.

Tencent technology from the Nano-SIM card domestic business card maker learned that, the Nano SIM card in the domestic equipment, network testing work has been completed, the three major operators on the Nano SIM card has been proposed procurement requirements, is currently discussing the final price and purchase quantity, but the bulk shipments will take at least two months, because the Nano SIM cards are higher in production flow and cost than in previous generations of SIM cards, which takes a lot of time.
