It's not exactly news that Apple is keen to capitalize on the extensive Chinese mobile market when it launches its upcoming iPhone 5 device.

What, more iPhone 5 news? Indeed, with a launch right around the corner, carriers are likely already have all the common details about Apple's next smartphone.
