Apple is reportedly set to ship its new range of low-cost iPhones to the world's biggest mobile carrier, China Mobile.
The company is expected to unveil the new version of its flagship iPhone in the coming week, which would also include a cheaper version, 5C, to compete with rival Samsung who is known to provide affordable yet popular technology.
