Negotiations to Bring iPhone to China Reveal Apple’s New Stance on Revenue
The drama to bring the iPhone to China is quite revealing. Reuters reports that “Apple is no longer insisting on a revenue-sharing policy”. But according to a spokesperson for China Mobile, “there are practical issues still to be resolved”.
In any case, bringing the iPhone to China would be a good move to Apple. There are lots of customers to be had, and those Chinese clones definitely don’t beat the original.
Most importantly, does this development indicate that Apple had a hard time entering new countries because of its revenue-sharing agreement? And now that they’ve apparently dropped their revenue-sharing policy, will AT&T try to modify its current arrangement with the Cupertino-based company?
