Following a false start (http://www.engadget.com/2013/12/04/apple-reportedly-strikes-deal-to-launch-iphone-on-china-mobile-l/) a couple of weeks ago (and some protracted discussions (http://www.engadget.com/2012/12/05/china-mobile-iphone/)), Apple has confirmed (http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20131222005019/en/China-Mobile-Apple-Bring-iPhone-China-Mobile%E2%80%99s) that the iPhone 5s and 5c will reach China Mobile on January 17th, 2014 as part of a multi-year deal. As hinted earlier, both smartphones will support the carrier's TD-LTE (http://www.engadget.com/2013/10/14/iphone-5s-5c-china-mobile-tenaa-certification/) and TD-SCDMA networks. Pricing isn't available just yet, but customers can pre-register starting on December 25th. The partnership is Apple's largest to date, at least in terms of sheer numbers -- even if only a small fraction of China Mobile's 700 million-plus customers buy iPhones, they're bound to significantly improve Cupertino's bottom line.
