iPhone? Not iPhone?

China Mobile was all like “No thanks, Apple” in talks about bringing the Apple iPhone to China. No reason was given for the break in negotiations but Bloomberg suspects it was the 20 to 30 percent of data fees Apple asks for each iPhone subscription. This does not rule out “further cooperation” but who really cares? China has plenty if iPhone knock-offs to offer the world. After all, Asia puts the “WTF” back into “Intellectual Property Theft.”
