    Since the deal was widely expected your prediction is likely pretty accurate.  What will move the stock is if Apple either fails to meet expectations or wildly blows the doors off them.

    I'm too mature to say that I called it happening before Christmas.

    Thank you Santa. Just what I wanted

    27 million more iPhones.

    A source told me the delay was because CM was waiting to determine how quickly they could get 4G/LTE turned on in Hong Kong. Apple insisted HK be included in the launch and China Mobile only got government approval to operate LTE in HK earlier this month.

    Fantastic. So that gives 2 weeks of sales before Chinese New Year, the biggest buying holiday of the year.

    Wait… a government-owned, government-controlled company required government approval?

     

    We sure the commies know what they’re doing over there? <img class=" src="http://forums-files.appleinsider.com/images/smilies//lol.gif" />

    I hope not the case, but sadly it might end up being the case, because Wallstreet hates California and they have manipulated this stocks for many weeks! They will find some reason to sink the stock! FU Wall Street!

    lets see what negative spin the put to it..

    News like this always brings out the manipulators to drive down Apple's stock.

    Let's try this headline: With the addition of China Mobile to Apple's distribution, Apple has no place left to expand.

    Oh, they’re fine with California. Look at Google’s recent bubble.

    Except last week when Reuters reported there was no deal the stock was down 2% so it should at least get back what it lost the past two weeks.

    That would be my guess too. With a little more upside.

    Stock price drops. Analysts: this should have happened weeks ago. Too late, Apple.

    B.) iPhones are too expensive for the Chinese market

    C.) So many cheaper clones available

    D.) iPhones are known to electrocute the Chinese

    E.) Chinese people hate gay CEO's

    F.) Steve Jobs is dead

    G.) Apple is the new BlackBerry

    3.) Apple is actually doomed by inking this deal.

    4.) But Google does robots now



    (sorry, couldn't help a few of those, I'm one of the faithful, even though my Retina Mini is stuck in a bootloop ATM)

    You could not think of a few positive reasons?  You are really dumb.
