Whilst we in the western world have settled down from our recent Apple iPhone 4S fever, at least for another year, it’s now time for a further 15 countries to get the fever on as Apple have announced that it will be shipping the iPhone 4S handsets to a host of new Countries.
The iPhone 4S is the company’s fastest selling iPhone and is technically the best iPhone available on the market, and whilst many people will speak about the minor upgrade aspect of the iPhone 4S, it’s still a mammoth upgrade for most Apple fans.
The iPhone 4S will be soon available in Albania, Armenia, Bulgaria, El Salvador, Greece, Guatemala, Hong Kong, Malta, Montenegro, New Zealand, Panama, Poland, Portugal, Romania and South Korea which will bring the total amount of Countries with the Apple iPhone to 42 countries total.
Apple has also promised that that number will be upped to a full 70 countries before the end of the year, which would mean the iPhone 4S is out to pretty much the whole world.
Traditionally, Apple’s iPhone has been a favoured handset in the western world with Asia being a hard area for the smartphone supplier to crack (partially due to them being an American brand and partially due to piracy issues).
The Apple iPhone 4S will be available in Hong Kong, South Korea and 13 additional countries on Friday, November 11.
