iPhone 4S Moves Closer to Mainland China Debut

Though Apple’s new iPhone 4S has been launched in Hong Kong, it isn’t yet available in mainland China. But it’s looking like that’s about to change. China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) has reportedly finished testing the device, and passed it through to the final phase of the certification process. Barring any unforseen obstacles, the MIIT should grant Apple the network access license it needs to begin selling the 4S in China in a matter of weeks.
