After all the controversy surrounding the coming of the iPhone to China, we all know for a fact that China Unicom has gained the exclusive rights to distribute the popular Apple handset. However just like in most countries, there are more than one telecom companies who are doing business. For China, China Mobile is hoping to get some share of the pie as it is in talks with Apple to sell iPhones in China also.

Though nothing has come out of these talks, it is believed that China Mobile may likewise get the blessings of Apple and distribute the iPhone to the Chinese market. China holds one of the largest potential mobile markets in the world and surely China Unicom cannot solely handle all of these by its lonesome.

China Mobile, if successful in its talks with Apple, could be the largest carrier of iPhones in China.
