Last night it was reported Apple had invited members of the press in China to hold a special event, which was believed to be a separate simultaneous iPhone event for the country to possibly announce the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C.

China Mobile is the world’s largest mobile carrier with over 700 million users. A highly anticipated iPhone announcement with the network would be a boom for Apple in China.
