China Mobile could delay iPhone 6 launch until 2015

The newly announced iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus may have received more than 4 million pre-orders in 24 hours, but the two devices are facing a delayed launch in China.

At this point its really unclear when the iPhone 6 will arrive in the worlds biggest smartphone market. Not even China Mobile knows. And thats the countrys biggest carrier, with around 800 million customers.

According to an unconfirmed report, Apple has yet to get its new iPhones certified for sale in China by the countrys Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, which has apparently failed to reach an agreement with the Cupertino-based company on the matter. Without this certification, you simply cant legally sell phones in China, so the situation isnt looking good for Apple.

In fact, it may have to wait until next year to receive said certification and hence be able to launch the iPhone 6 in China. This could come as a pretty big blow in terms of sales in the fourth quarter of 2014.

In the meantime, China Mobile will focus on selling unsubsidized 4G capable smartphones for the remainder of this year. Company execs have predicted that by the end of the year, 70% of the 4G smartphones it sells will cost less than 1,000 yuan ($162). But there will also be handsets priced at less than 600 yuan ($97).

As it starts focusing more and more on such mass-market offerings, China Mobile plans to cut around $2 billion in subsidies for mobile phones, a move which will affect sales of high-end devices made by the likes of Apple and Samsung.

To get an idea of how big these subsidies are right now, lets consider the iPhone 5S. It currently has a list price of 5,288 yuan ($860) when purchased with a contract. China Mobile will subsidise up to 88% of that value (bringing the upfront cost down to 635 yuan, or $103), but in that case you need a plan that will set you back 388 yuan ($63) per month.

As we approach 2015, the year of the launch of the flagships of each mobile phone manufacturer, we are gradually discovering new information about mobile ahead. Samsung Galaxy S6 South Korean Company Samsung has been one of the latest to star in a filtration in which it is said that one of the novelties of this terminal could be your data connectivity. Apparently, the Samsung Galaxy S6 incorporate mobile Internet connectivity LTE Cat 10 type , which means that this smartphone could reach download speeds of up to 450 Mbps through the data rate.

This development would be possible in the variant of the Samsung Galaxy S6 with Exynos processor, as indicated from the US website SamMobile. Apparently, Samsung is working on right now incorporate LTE Cat 10 connectivity to Exynos 7420 processor eight-core is expected to incorporate the new Galaxy S6, as we have shown above benchmarks.

Assuming that this information is true, the only thing to bear in mind is that this variant of the Samsung Galaxy S6 with Exynos processor only would go to markets like the US or Asia. Meanwhile, European users would have to settle for the variant with the variant with Qualcomm processor which, in principle; this will be accompanied by data connectivity.

Making a compilation of information that has leaked so far about the Samsung Galaxy S6 can see that this smartphone is very likely to occur with a 5.5 inch screen with 2560 x 1440 pixel resolution, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor eight cores 3 gigabytes of RAM, 32 gigabytes of internal storage (expandable probably via a microSD card) and the Android operating system in the latest version of Android 5.0 Lollipop. All accompanied by supposedly an alternative edition that responds to the name of Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge.
