@limejamaica Launches Apple iPhone 6 and 6 Plus – Spanking New Press Release Website tied with Social Media

Folks, the Apple iPhone 6 and Apple iPhone 6 Plus is now on sale in Jamaica according to Kelroy’s Geezam blog article entitled “iPhone 6 & iPhone 6 Plus now available at select LIME stores” and “iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus go on sale at LIME stores today”, published Friday, November 14, 2014, The Jamaica Observer.



Telecom Provider LIME did an ad in the newspaper indicating that they’ve got the Apple Phone 6 and Apple iPhone 6 Plus on Page B12 on the Sunday Gleaner of Sunday November 16th 2014.

Good to note that Traditional Media, always slow on the uptake, did an article in the Monday’s Gleaner that makes a passing reference to the Apple iPhone 6 and Apple iPhone 6 Plus being launched by Telecom Provider LIME in the article “Tech Times”, Published Monday November 17, 2014, by Kareem LaTouche and Stephanie Lyew, The Jamaica Gleaner.

According to The Jamaica Observer, the Apple iPhone would be available in the following islands:

1.      Anguilla
2.      Antigua and Barbuda
3.      Barbados
4.      British Virgin Islands
5.      Cayman Islands
6.      Dominica
7.      Grenada
8.      Montserrat
9.      St Lucia
10.  St Kitts & Nevis
11.  St Vincent & the Grenadines
12.  Turks & Caicos Islands

Trus’ me, on seeing the ad, I’m still kinda in shock that the Apple iPhone 6 and Apple iPhone 6 Plus is coming to Jamaica BEFORE January 2015. According to LIME’s Facebook Notes entitled “LIME iPhone Stores”, published November 14, 2014 at 10:17am, LIME Jamaica Facebook Page , the Apple iPhone 6 and Apple iPhone 6 Plus will be available EXCLUSIVELY in the following LIME Stores Islandwide:

LIME Launches Apple iPhone 6 and 6 Plus – Spanking New Press Release Website tied with Social Media


A quick check on their Social Media page revealed that they had actually mentioned this as far back as Monday November 10th 2014, on their spanking new LIME Website in the article “Announcing the coming of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus to Jamaica”, published November 10, 2014, LIME Jamaica.



Guess Telecom Provider LIME took my advice about getting a proper Website to put out Press Releases to match their store makeover as mentioned in my blog article entitled “LIME rolls out Redesigned Main Store at Carlton Crescent in a 2 Year Battle against Digicel - Digicel still dangerous with cheaper Data, the DL600 smartphone and Postpaid Digihome”.

This announcement mirrors the one on their LIME Twitter feed on Friday November 14th 2014!



If you read the Sunday Gleaner (I did this weekend while taking a walk from my new crib on Sunday!), you’d have noticed that Telecom Provider LIME is ahead of the Game! By specifying the stores that which the Apple iPhone 6 and 6 Plus will be available, they’re guaranteeing that this will be an uber-exclusive experience for the customer coming to pre-order or buy their smartphone,

No word on price, but you can bet that it’s probably as expensive as rival Samsung and their Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and her other tech notables mentioned in my Geezam blog article entitled “Samsung Launches quartet of Note-worthy Products to Tab into the Gear S Alpha in all Jamaicans” at the Samsung Experience Store .

So what is it like to touch the Apple iPhone 6 and Apple 6 Plus here in Jamaica about which I’e written at length in my blog article entitled “Apple iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus - No Sapphire Screen but 128GB Storage and NFC-powered Apple Pay in Apple's Biggest iPhone Launch”!

I’ll be going do to the LIME Headquarters on Monday November 17th 2014 to ask some questions as see if I can get some alone time with the Apple iPhone 6 and Apple 6 Plus. Look out for my follow-up on my first impressions by December 2014!
