According to China Daily, China Mobile's chairman is targeting 340 cities with 4G LTE by year-end 2014. usa.chinadaily.com.cn/business/2013-12/18/content_17181958.htmSeems like 4G LTE coverage to an extent kinda sorta like AT&T and Verizon is still a ways off, but hey, maybe 2014 isn't more like 2016 - and I say this with some actual seriousness since China Mobile was _finally_ given the go-ahead on TD-LTE. I'm guessing that as China Mobile doesn't need to cover all of those cities to cover a whole bunch of subscribers. Plus, 3G is a lot better than 2G, the latter on which millions are currently using iPhones.

Yup. It makes no sense for iPhone 5S/5C to not have TD-SCDMA fallback. And one of those China Monile regional sites (Inner Mongolia?) specifically mentioned TD-SCDMA support IIRC. ;D

That's all I'm getting. C'est la vie. China Mobile must be VERY CONFIDENT of a pending deal with Apple to allow preordering that includes taking advance payments. Hopefully media coverage confirms similar details. No confirmed deal with Apple yet, but all signs indicate one is expected soon. It is what it is. Nasdaq futures are currently green, showing no hint of negative reaction but who knows. I'm going to bed. GLTA. That's the other, other thing. Announcement yes, but when will China Mobile actually turn on LTE in a substantial way? The new 4G LTE brand hasn't launched quite yet - it isn't splashed all over any regional pages I can see. Thanks again for asking your friends, though of course this is all enlightened self-interest. ;D
