Revenue model

Apple was developed the hardware by OEM manufacturers in China for the production of Foxconn iPhone. At present, China Unicom, iPhone in China is the only one operator. Unlike the U.S., AT & T voice and data plans subsidize the cost of the iPhone, the AT & T can sell a $ 299 iPhone 4 mobile phone. But the price of China Unicom only to agreements to purchase the iPhone from the Apple phone, Apple's share of the company will not be divided into monthly voice and data. Because Apple is the exclusive manufacturer of the iPhone, China Unicom to sell Apple's iPhone, first consideration is profit.
