Negotiations between China’s largest mobile phone operator by subscribers, and Apple on offering the iPhone in China have failed, the Southern Daily newspaper reported, citing unnamed sources (as noted by MarketWatch).

The two parties purportedly couldn’t reach an agreement because of differences over revenue sharing, the paper reported Thursday. Apple now plans to open stores in Beijing next summer to sell iPhones directly, and is in talks with Chinese mobile phone distributors, it said.
