Good news for all the people in China waiting to get their hands on a brand new iPhone 5c or iPhone 5s. The world’s biggest mobile carrier China Mobile will start Pre-Orders for these models on Thursday, December 12. The iPhone’s can be pre-ordered on China Mobile’s website and at some of its locations in Shanghai, reports The Wall Street Journal.

“Customers can begin to preorder for our new 4G services from Dec. 12 through the company’s website and some dedicated branches in Shanghai. But we will only start providing commercial 4G services after Dec. 18,” the customer services operator said.

Apple and China Mobile have been in talks for several years, and CEO Tim Cook traveled to China to meet with China Mobile Chairman Xi Guohua back in July where the two made headway on a potential deal.
