Discussions going on between Apple and Docomo for a latest deal

Japanese media is disclosing that Apple Inc. and NTT Docomo Inc might be close to an agreement that would allow DoCoMo to incorporate the iPhone in its lineup. Apple is very well conscious of the fact that additional information to the iPhone 5 is not going to increase sales in saturated markets such as the United States and that is the major reason for which Apple’s CEO is shaking hands with more CEOs of Asia-Pacific in the meantime.

DoCoMo is a huge carrier of Japan behind number two KDDI Corp and number three Softbank Corp -- the company that had newly purchased Sprint Corporation. As said by Chief Financial Officer of DoCoMo (Kazuto Tsubouchi), it does not make common sense for Apple not to put up for sale its iPhone through DoCoMo as it is a huge carrier of Japan.

Apple is insistently making effort to enhance market share in China and Japan. These are the two countries where the iPhone has obtained much popularity as the Windows Phone of Microsoft Corporation has obtained in the United States but its popularity keeps decreasing in China. The major reason is that people don’t like the Windows phones. In Japan and China, the price tag of iPhone is one of the huge barriers to sales ever since the carriers don’t fund its buying price as they do in United States.

DoCoMo wants the iPhone as much as the iPhone wants DoCoMo. It might be the prevailing Japanese carrier with 45 % market share but it’s rising gradually than rivals KDDI and Softbank. 172,500 users are added by DoCoMo whereas 225,200 by KDDI and 254,500 by Softbank in July. News of an awaiting deal of China Mobile Ltd. with Apple have inspired investors to bid the stock up in current times and an additional saturation into the market of Japan is further excellent news as Apple works to find new markets.
