And sure to help business even further, China Mobile says it has met with Apple's Chief Executive Steve Jobs several times on introducing an iPhone based on its network standard. The operator already has seven and a half million iPhone users on its network, even though it does not sell the smartphone through its retail network. China Mobile operates a 3G mobile network based on its home-grown standard, which Apple currently does not support. The company's Chairman Wang Jianzhou said earlier in May that Apple planned to use a fourth-generation mobile technology on the iPhone that would be compatible with its future 4G network. China Unicom is currently the only Chinese carrier to offer iPhone handsets.
