iPhone 4S Launching In India This November 25th


Apple has been launching iPhone in many countries lately. With the initial launch on October 14th in 6 countries, Apple launched iPhone 4S in 22 other countries on October 28th and is now gearing to launch the same in 15 more countries this November 11th. Apple also announced that it’s targeting to launch the iPhone in 70 countries by year end which means Apple is preparing to launch in 55 other countries besides the ones so far.
Before you read further, we shall make it clear that this news is not based on information from “sources close to the subject” or “people familiar with the matter”. This comes from someone who has been watching the Apple very closely. An Apple enthusiast.
As I said earlier, Apple launched the iPhone 4S on October 14th in US, UK, Canada, Germany, France and Japan. And on October 28th, Apple launched the iPhone 4S to 22 other countries (Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland.) Now that’s a clear 14 days gap from the initial launch. Apple later announced the next batch of countries to get the iPhone 4S on November 11th. They are Albania, Armenia, Bulgaria, El Salvador, Greece, Guatemala, Hong Kong, Malta, Montenegro, New Zealand, Panama, Poland, Portugal, Romania and South Korea. You might have already done the math and its another 14 days from the previous launch(Oct 28th). I also went through the list of launch countries for Apple’s iPhone 4 and it seems that all countries who got the iPhone 4 before India has already received an iPhone launch date except the middle east countries. If Apple goes by this trend, mark your calendar for November 25th which is another 14 days from the previous launch. We will see iPhone 4S launching in India.
Many users who’ve bought an iPhone 4S from other countries are not able to use the phone here despite being an unlocked unit. Even though carriers were unable to address the issue initially, operators like Airtel has said that an update to their system on November 25th will fix this issue and all iPhones will start working in the subcontinent. Lets not forget the fact that Airtel is one of the official carriers of the iPhone in the country.
