China Mobile is expected to launch the ‘cut-down’ version of iPhone shortly. Wifi and 3G will be disabled in this version to comply with Chinese regulations. According to foxconn (Apple’s Taiwanese manufacturing partner), China Mobile has asked Apple to remove Wi-Fi and 3G networking from the iPhone for its launch in China. [News]

ZoNG is the only overseas operation of China Mobile. Previously, Warid Telecom was expected to launch iPhone in Pakistan; as SingTel owns 30% of Warid Telecom shares and it secured an agreement with Apple to distribute iPhones in Singapore, India, Australia and Philippines. Unlike Warid Telecom, CMPak(ZoNG) is 100% subsidiary of China Mobile. So, it makes sense that it will launch iPhone in Pakistan as well. Let’s hope that instead of showing iPhone in its TVC, CMPak will do something practically.
