China Mobile to Gives New iPhone Sales a Boost

The iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C will be available from November on China Mobile, the country's biggest mobile carrier with over 740 million subscribers, according to local sources on Tuesday.

Apple released them in 11 countries including China, Japan and the U.S. on Sept. 20. At present, they can be purchased from the country's second- and third-largest mobile carriers, China Unicom and China Telecom.

Once China Mobile, which has more subscribers than its two rivals combined, starts selling the two devices, Apple is expected to see its share of the Chinese smartphone market take a new leap forward
