Apple only has to make dual sim iphone to get good sales in China.
In other news, a similar deal was also struck with our telecoms in Slovenia.
Guess they are lowering their strict standards which operator can sell their premium phones.
Check at your local operators that hadn't sold iPhones before!

As the lower end of the market explodes, the higher end will naturally shrink. Why else do you think there is a disconnect between Apples increasing sales numbers but decreasing marketshare? Since other manufacturers don't release the breakdown of their sales numbers, Apple is just the most obvious indicator of this.

Keep the iTrap away from China
This is gonna be big...! Gabby Hayes......big!!
Good deal to make no doubt.
