6、er this month, Mr Cook met China Mobile Chairman Xi Guohua in Beijing and discussed cooperation, stirring hopes that the world's largest mobile carrier may soon start offering the iPhone. Earlier this month, the Wall Street Journal reported that Apple was working on a lower-end iPhone that could la

7、unch as early as this year. But one possible challenge for Apple in China is that low-priced Android-based phones are getting better in terms of quality.
