A subsidiary of China Mobile in Suzhou, China started taking preorders for the iPhone 5s and 5c late Monday local time, Fortune reports. The reservation page was later replaced with a note that indicated reservations would reopen later.
It’s possible the Suzhou preorders were a soft launch for the iPhone on China Mobile. The carrier has already announced that it plans to introduce a new brand on Dec.
18, and a leaked promotional poster indicated the iPhone 5c and 5s are on the way.
