China Unicom iPhone gets Wi-Fi tweak

on 05/04/2010, filed in Home > Apple

Folks who are head over heels with Apple will surely know that the iPhone which is sold in China has had its Wi-Fi connectivity disabled, but all that is about to change pretty soon. It seems that a China-specific WAPI (WLAN Authentication and Privacy Infrastructure) protocol has been born, making it possible for the next iPhone to hit the market in that part of the world come with Wi-Fu support. Are you stoked yet, or are you just in a daze, wondering why do certain countries seem averse to Wi-Fi connectivity by everyday devices?

iPhone: iPhone: The iPhone is Apple's line of smartphones. That was also the original name of the first iPhone, which was announced on January 9th 2007 by Steve Jobs during the Macworld Keynote. The iPhone was released to the public in June of the same year. The development of the iPhone started in 2004, was internally called "project purple" and was the fruit of a collaboration between Apple and AT&T. Since then, Apple has released new iPhone models every year, with the iPhone 3G in July 2008, the iPhone 3GS in June 2009, the iPhone 4 in June 2010, the iPhone 4S in October 2011 and the iPhone 5 in September 2012. The iPhone represented more than half of Apple's revenues in 2012.
