Apple says it has reached a deal to bring the iPhone to China Mobile, the world’s biggest phone carrier.
The deal ends a lengthy courtship and could boost sales of the iPhone in China. The iPhone, once hugely popular in China, has been eclipsed by the rise of lower-priced rival smartphones from Samsung and Chinese companies entered the market.
The iPhone 5S and 5C will go on sale in Apple stores and China Mobil stores beginning Friday, Jan. 17. China Mobil customers can register for phones starting Wednesday Dec. 25.
The companies didn’t announce pricing or the terms of the agreement.
