Apple Inc plans to open 10 more brick-and-mortar retail stores in China, the company's online recruitment bulletin showed on Tuesday.

The job postings appeared amid hot speculation about its next-generation iPhone release.

The United States-based electronics giant is hiring staff for new stores in six second-tier cities including Shenyang, Liaoning province, Zhengzhou, Henan province and Chongqing, according to a hiring notice posted on the company's website.

Apple plans to open three stores in Chongqing, a municipality that has more than 30 million residents. The city currently does not have a self-owned Apple outlet.

The company has opened 10 stores on the Chinese mainland since 2008. Most of the outlets are in top-tier cities such as Beijing and Shanghai.

Apple did not reply to e-mail queries from China Daily asking for comments.

"Expanding its retail footprint in China will help Apple significantly in getting both brand and user experience to more local consumers," said Nicole Peng, research director at Canalys China based in Shanghai.

The six cities have nearly 80 million residents in all with an average GDP per capita of more than $10,000, said Peng.

"Some of (the cities) are provincial capitals or critical travel hubs, giving Apple access to large numbers of affluent Chinese middle-class households and consumers living in smaller cities nearby."

China is a longstanding battlefield for global smartphone manufacturers as the world's biggest mobile phone market is also on track to contribute the largest revenues. Phone sales in China will reach $87 billion during 2014, a jump of 53 percent year-on-year, according to Strategy Analytics.
