HONG KONG — China Mobile Ltd. is in talks with Apple Inc. about bringing the iPhone to China, but no agreement has been reached yet, the telecom's chief executive said Tuesday.
The companies still need to iron out their differences over revenue sharing, Wang Jianzhou told reporters on the sidelines of the GSMA Mobile Asia Congress in the Chinese territory of Macau.
Apple launched its iPhone in the U.S. earlier this year.
The Cupertino, Calif.-based company has plans to launch the device in Asia in 2008 and is in talks with various operators in the region.
China Mobile is China's largest cell-phone carrier.
