Messages on iPad, iPhone and MacBook Air with OS X Mountain Lion

China represents one of the biggest growth opportunities for Apple, and the country could become bigger than the United States (for the company) in a few years. We think Apple will be able to sell between 3 and 5 million iPhones through China Telecom during the year.

Ben Reitzes, from Barclays Capital, talking about the Chinese market and Apple's recent partnership in the country. In addition, the analyst believes that OS X Mountain Lion will further strengthen the company's “Halo Effect” and that it will fit perfectly into the new MacBooks Air, which should arrive in the second half of the year.
