No iPhone for you!

by Diana Ameen
June 26th, 2009

Since the release of the new iPhone, 3G S, Apple has sold more than a million devices in its first weekend in United States itself. iPhone 3G S was released on 19th of June in U.S and major European countries. One million sales was not a surprise to most of Apple fans and admirers, including myself.

However, what surprised me was the fact that the new iPhone, 3G S, was not released in any major Islamic country, including Dubai, UAE. Dubai is one of the most technologically developed cities in the world, no to mention its growing IT sector. The only version of iPhone available in Islamic countries is the iPhone 3G. It is available in Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and United Arab Emirates, Qatar is still waiting for iPhone 3G. To see the list of countries that iPhone 3G/3G S is offered please click here.
