[Reposting from last night] Three thoughts on the iPhone and China Mobile http://stratechery.com/2013/apple-china-mobile-sign-deal-to-offer-iphone/ … A big deal, but the end of easy growth
@wangye_jay had the footnote confirmed by a couple of readers. It's how things go in most Asian countries; more expensive is part of deal.

@monkbent I believe that's the reason CM has most richer clients. I myself stayed with CM even though I'm a geek who needs 3G -
@wangye_jay interesting. Good to know. The number thing is very interesting -
@monkbent it might change in 2014/15, which makes the iPhone deal more important to CM.CM is the one most reluctant to "keep no." proposal -
@wangye_jay this is super interesting - really appreciate it
