在美國(guó)，有關(guān)蘋(píng)果（Apple）的傳聞不會(huì)因?yàn)闊徜N(xiāo)的iPhone手機(jī)下一步走向的消息得以公布而停息。

　　提康德羅加證券（Ticonderoga Securities）的分析師懷特（Brian White）在周一寫(xiě)道“此前我們?cè)硎鞠嘈旁诤蚔erizon的合作協(xié)議敲定之后不久中國(guó)電信（China Telecom）就會(huì)成為經(jīng)營(yíng)iPhone的運(yùn)營(yíng)商。中國(guó)電信的CDMA網(wǎng)絡(luò)有8800萬(wàn)用戶，其規(guī)模幾乎和Verizon一樣大。”

　　據(jù)《華爾街日?qǐng)?bào)》記者弗萊徹（Owen Fletcher）去年9月的報(bào)道，中國(guó)聯(lián)通（China Unicom）（香港）有限公司是目前中國(guó)內(nèi)地唯一銷(xiāo)售iPhone的電信運(yùn)營(yíng)商。iPhone 4在去年美國(guó)首發(fā)三個(gè)月之后登陸中國(guó)市場(chǎng)，好幾個(gè)國(guó)家是從去年6月下旬開(kāi)始發(fā)售的。相比之下，此前iPhone 3GS的美國(guó)首發(fā)和中國(guó)的行貨銷(xiāo)售時(shí)間有28個(gè)月的時(shí)差。

　　據(jù)設(shè)在北京的網(wǎng)絡(luò)咨詢公司易觀國(guó)際（Analysys International）透露，去年三季度蘋(píng)果手機(jī)的市場(chǎng)占有率為5.9%，是中國(guó)第五大智能手機(jī)供應(yīng)商。但iPhone 4很可能提升蘋(píng)果公司四季度的銷(xiāo)售額。 而諾基亞（Nokia）在三季度則以23.5%的市場(chǎng)占有率排名第一。

　　據(jù)去年6月《華爾街日?qǐng)?bào)》記者Loretta Chao的報(bào)道，在由于監(jiān)管原因而導(dǎo)致長(zhǎng)時(shí)間的拖延后，中國(guó)的三大國(guó)有電信運(yùn)營(yíng)商中國(guó)移動(dòng)（China Mobile）、中國(guó)聯(lián)通和中國(guó)電信的3G用戶數(shù)量開(kāi)始增加。據(jù)官方數(shù)據(jù)統(tǒng)計(jì)，截至2010年4月，中國(guó)共有7.865億手機(jī)用戶，數(shù)量為全球之最。

　　The Apple rumor mill will not be silenced by the mere appearance of an actual announcement on the next step for the hot-selling Apple iPhone in the states.

　　Ticonderoga Securities analyst Brian White writes Monday “in the past, we have indicated that we believe China Telecom is likely to carry the iPhone shortly after a deal is struck with Verizon. With 88 million wireless subscribers on its CDMA network, China Telecom is nearly the size of Verizon.”

　　China Unicom (Hong Kong) Ltd. is currently only network operator in China to offer the iPhone, The Wall Street Journal’s Owen Fletcher reported back in September. The iPhone 4 went on sale in China about three months after its introduction in the U.S. and several other countries in late June. That compares with a lag of 28 months between the original iPhone’s U.S. introduction and the first authorized iPhone sales in China.

　　Apple was China’s fifth-largest smartphone vendor in the third quarter with a 5.9% share of unit sales, but the iPhone 4 is likely to boost its fourth-quarter sales, said Beijing research firm Analysys International. Nokia Corp. had the largest share of China’s smartphone market in the third quarter at 23.5%, according to Analysys, The Journal reports.

　　As The Journal’s Loretta Chao reported back in June, China’s three state-owned mobile operators, China Mobile Ltd., China Unicom (Hong Kong) Ltd. and China Telecom Corp., are beginning to gain 3G subscribers after a long regulatory delay. According to government statistics, China as of April 2010 had 786.5 million mobile subscribers, the most in the world.
