Finally something solid about mobile phones from Apple
Softbank and Apple will cooperate on mobile phones. The choice of a Japanese company to partner with seemed odd until I realised it's about the distribution, not the manufacturing. With great certainty the phones will anyway be made in lower cost countries like Taiwan or China. Rather it's about first releasing the phones in Japan.

Softbank is owner of prior Vodafone Japan, so they have a channel for the phones, yet very small compared to e.g. NTT DoCoMo today.
