Mobily officially launched the iPhone 4 just recently and customers are snatching them up as soon as the shipment trickles in. We even had an insider put our name on the reserve list, but up to this date we've received no word. Some shops have taken advantage of the shortage and jacked up the prices of the iPhone 4, but have eventually run out of stock.
Good news for people who are still looking to buy the iPhone 4 in Saudi Arabia because the Saudi Telecom Company (STC) is gearing up for their own launch of the iPhone 4. No launch dates or prices have been announced by STC, but you can have your name registered for email updates from STC on the iPhone 4's availability HERE.
RIYADH: Saudi Telecom Company (STC), the Kingdom’s leading telecoms operator, has announced it will soon launch iPhone 4, which is expected to be the world’s thinnest model with the highest-ever resolution display built into an Apple phone.
Competing closely with its rival Mobily, which launched an iPhone model last year, an STC source said the launch is part of the company’s commitment to provide consers in Saudi Arabia with the latest 3G technologies on a highly advanced network.
“We are preparing for the big launch of iPhone 4 in the Kingdom very soon,” said the official source.
The launch is in line with STC’s efforts to offer its subscribers the best in communication technology, enabling them to benefit from the latest innovations and applications, he said.
With this launch, consumers will have an even greater choice of smart phones.
However, with the rise in the number of smart phones in the Saudi market, particularly the popularity of brands such as BlackBerry, iPhone, Nokia and Samsung, there has also been a surge in fake models.
The fakes look almost exactly like the real thing. Consumers can buy Nokia’s X-6 or even BlackBerry phones for as little as SR250 and even less depending on a person’s ability to bargain with vendors.
However, vendors do explain the difference in the features of the fake models, which are mostly made in China. The fake X-6 model can allow for the insertion of two Sim cards and has an inferior camera.
