The Wall Street Journal cited unnamed sources as saying China Mobile is expected to add iPhones to its roster of compatible smartphones later this month.

Such a deal would be a boon for Apple, which has made a priority of the China market where China Mobile has more than 700 million subscribers but has yet to offer the iPhone.
