Apple’s (AAPL.NASDAQ) primary supplier Foxconn has delivered about 1.4 million iPhone 5Ss to China Mobile (CHL.NYSE, 0941.HKG) for the state-run giant’s product launch this Friday, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing a person familiar with the matter. While the initial shipment volume doesn’t represent the total sales at China Mobile for January, the figure helps gauge early demand for iPhones from China Mobile, the world’s biggest carrier by subscribers with more than 760 million customers. China Mobile began taking preorders for iPhones starting December 25.
