NTT DoCoMo will not introduce the iPhone at least at the present moment.

For details, please see below for details.
As a result of inquiries from the editorial department to NTT Docomo's Public Relations Department, Vice President Tsujimura responded to the question about the planned introduction of iPhone received at NTT Docomo's shareholders' meeting held today.

DoCoMo wants to offer services that i-mode realizes when customers using i-mode are migrated to smartphones, because it is impossible for iPhone, iPhone I do not think about offering.

In other words, although it is possible to incorporate i-mode service on Android smartphone, NTT DoCoMo does not introduce iPhone because it is impossible with iPhone ......

Following the world marketAndroid smartphones outpaced the iPhone's share in the domestic marketAlthough it may be thought as a remark, it seems that Apple's interests that NTT DoCoMo, who has promoted itself as platform itself, and Apple that wishes to offer its platform in a vertically integrated manner seem to have finally never agreed.
