Oct 24 (Reuters) - China Mobile , the world's largest mobile carrier by subscribers, has 10 million iPhone users even though it does not yet have an agreement with iPhone maker Apple , its chairman told Reuters on Monday.

Wang Jianzhou also said Apple had promised to make an iPhone compatible with China Mobile's TD-LTE standard when its next-generation model comes out. He could not say when this would happen.

"We have not yet got agreement with Apple," Wang said on the fringes of the ITU World telecoms fair in Geneva. "Apple promised to provide, when they develop the iPhone for LTE, that it will include TD-LTE. We are discussing the details."

China Mobile has previously said it had met several times with Steve Jobs, Apple's co-founder and former chief executive who died this month, to discuss introducing an iPhone based on its own home-grown network standard.

The company is developing its next-generation TD-LTE mobile network technology, and Wang said there should be commercial trials next year in some cities.

China Mobile had more than 630 million customers at the end of September. But many are lower-end users who only make calls and send text messages.

China's three carriers have been plagued by falling average revenue per user as they offer subsidised handsets from Samsung and HTC for multi-year contracts to attract smartphone users to more expensive services.

In more developed markets, the iPhone spurred consumers to make far greater use of lucrative data services when it was launched four years ago, thanks to its ease of use and well-supplied App Store of games and other applications.

In China, only China Unicom has the iPhone so far.

However, Wang said China Mobile was already benefiting to some extent from the iPhone, thanks to Apple's network of stores in the country.

"The total number of iPhones in China Mobile's network has reached 10 million -- and we didn't pay any subsidies," he said.

中国移动--拥有世界上最多用户的移动运营商--董事长于周一接受路透社采访时称，尽管中国移动尚未同iPhone制造商苹果达成协议，但iPhone手机用户已经达到一千万。

王建宙同时声称苹果已经许诺下一代的iPhone将支持中国移动的TD-LTE标准。但他并没透露具体时间。

王建宙在参加日内瓦举办的ITU（国际电信联盟）国际电信展时说：“我们同苹果公司尚未达成协议。苹果公司承诺当它开发支持LTE制式的iPhone时，将包括TD-LTE制式。我们双方正在讨论相关细节。”

中国移动先前曾称已同前苹果行政总裁，合伙创始人乔布斯进行了几次会晤，商讨引进支持本国网络标准的iPhone。后者已于这个月与世长辞。

中国移动目前正在开发下一代TD-LTE制式网络技术。王建宙称将于明年在一些城市商业试运营。

至上个月9月底，中国移动移动已拥有超过6.3亿用户。但大多数只是低端用户。他们仅仅收发短信和打电话。

为了吸引更多的智能手机用户和使用更昂贵的服务费，中国移动同三星和HTC手机购买用户订立了多年合同并给予补贴。这使得每用户平均收益在下降，中国三大运营深受此苦恼。

在比较发达的市场，当iPhone于四年前上市后，由于手机操作方便，同时App商店拥有众多资源和其他应用，iPhone激发了消费者更广泛的应用利润丰厚的数据服务。

在中国目前只有联通拥有定制的iPhone。

然而，王建宙称受益于苹果在中国的商店网络，中国移动在某种程度上已经从iPhone收益。

王建宙说：“中国移动网络下得iPhone手机用户已达到一千万。同时我们从未提供任何形式补贴。”
