Looks like Apple is gearing towards signing a deal with China Mobile to bring its iPhone to the world’s biggest mobile operator. According to Patently Apple, China Mobile is about to start testing its TD-LTE network in more than 100 cities across China in an effort to bring 4G mobile Internet to more than half a billion people.
At the same time, Apple is said to be looking to get new chips from Qualcomm which will add global LTE connectivity to the future iPhones. Presuming the Cupertino-based company opts for this solution, they’ll be able to offer it to China Mobile’s vast customer base, setting a stage for another (and another) record-breaking quarter.
One thing is certain – the two giants have already tried to reach an arrangement and with the next iPhone possibly singing along all possible LTE frequencies such a deal seems one step closer… or so we think. What do you say?

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
