China Mobile confirms it’s talking with Apple about the iPhone
China Mobile is in talks with Apple to carry the iPhone, according to a report from Bloomberg. No agreement has yet been reached between the two companies, and China Mobile can’t predict whether the companies will be able to come to agreement in 2012, making it likely the company would start carrying the next iPhone either later this year or in early 2013.

Beer bottles used to smuggle 216 iPhones

One man, thirty iPhones caught at Chinese border

Instead of smuggling the usual lot of illegal drugs and other not-niceties we’re accustomed to hearing about, some folks in China are attempting to smuggle iPhones from Hong Kong to mainland China. In mainland China, iPhones sell for about $125 more than they do in Hong Kong, and some smugglers are hoping to make a pretty penny off of this price inconsistency.
