First of all, the condition that NTT docomo and Apple partnered seems to be as follows.

As a condition to give DoCoMo the right to sell iPhone and iPad, DOCOMO requested Docomo to correspond to the LTE network commercialized in December last year (service name is "Xi (Crossy)"), and Docomo It was good. This is the first time Apple has a LTE communication function on iPad and iPhone.

In other words, Xi correspondence has come to be realized by Apple attracting NTT docomo's request, and NTT DoCoMo will maintain an Xi compliant area quickly while iPhone 5 is released. It is possible to think.
