In China, Apple is once again in negotiations over the sale of its iPhones.

The chairman of China Mobile, the country's largest mobile operator, has reported that he has been in negotiations with the US company.

Wang Jianzhou told reporters that China Mobile was hoping to introduce different types of smartphones including the iPhone.

The iPhone is already sold in China by China Unicom, China Mobile's rival.

Unicom became the first operator to bring iPhones into the world's largest mobile market last month and claims to have around 5,000 iPhone users.

There are nearly 720 million mobile phone users in China.
