The
Apple iPhone shortages worldwide continue unabated. But it’s apparently not a
shortage of supply, but a part of Apple’s master plan to expand their sales to some
additional countries, based on the speculation of Piper Jaffry analyst Gene
Munster in the article “iPhone
5S supply in US continues to drop, says analyst”, published October 11,
2013 5:24 AM PDT by Lance Whitney, CNET News.
Jamaica may be on that list to get the Apple iPhone 5S and the Apple iPhone 5C
by November 2013!
To be
precise, Apple is looking to expand their sales of the Apple iPhone 5S and the
Apple iPhone 5C to 25 other countries come October 25th 2013 as
stated in the article “iPhone
5S, 5C to land in dozens more countries on October 25”, published October
9, 2013 6:04 AM PDT by Lance Whitney, CNET News. This provides a reasonable
explanation for the Supply shortages in Japan as noted in my blog article
entitled “Apple
iPhone 5S Shortages in Japan affecting NTT DoCoMo - Sales going to their
competitors SoftBank and KDDI as Global Apple iPhone Shortages ensue”.
Currently
the Apple iPhone is available in mainly First World Countries as listed in my blog article
entitled “Apple
has launched the Apple iPhone 5S and 5C on Tuesday September 10th 2013 - Apple
iPhone Strategy is to Go Global to beat Samsung”.

on the Apple iPhone Press Release “iPhone
5s & iPhone 5c Arrive in Italy, Russia, Spain & More Than 25 Countries

Telecom Provider LIME has stated that the Apple iPhone is coming to
Jamaica by November 2013, which seems to correlate with their comments
mentioned in the article “New
iPhone may not be so cheap in Jamaica”, published Sunday, September 29, 2013 BY STEVEN
JACKSON Business reporter, The
Jamaica Observer.
The price
for the Apple iPhone 5S and Apple iPhone 5C unlocked will not be competitive
with that of Samsung Galaxy smartphones, which not only has more range and
variety but also cheaper prices and the interest of many Jamaicans as concluded
in my
blog article
entitle “Samsung
Galaxy smartphones and Blackberrys are tops on Jamaican Searches according to
Google Trends - Importation Guide to Selling smartphone to Jamaicans”.
In fact,
as we get closer to Christmas 2013, more and more search traffic by Millennials
(18 to 28) and Generation x (ages 29 to 45) for a gadget to buy will most
likely be focused on purchasing either a smartphone from the Samsung Galaxy
series or a Blackberry, now that the company has gone as stated in my Geezam blog article entitled “Blackberry
sold to Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited as BBM goes free”.
But
there’s strong love for the Apple iPhone in Jamaica, especially as we now have
our very own official Apple dealership in the form of ATL (Automotive Traders
Limited) as stated in my blog article
entitled “ATL
is now the Official Distributor of Apple Product in Jamaica as of July 2013 -
Jamaica can now share in the innovation with Apple’s Future Products Despicable
Me 2” with
Telecom Provider LIME as the exclusive carrier for the Apple iPhone.
Not to
mention the odd fact that most of the disgruntled fans of Tessanne Chin, now
famous for her appearance on “The Voice”
are mostly Middle Class Apple iPhone-wielding FLOW Internet Streaming and Cable watching peeps
who are vexed with having to share their darling with the rest of Jamaica as
concluded in my blog
article entitled “Social
Media backlash over Television Jamaica's decision to buy rights to NBC's The
Voice - Power of the Middle Classes wielding Apple iPhones as FLOW AI is
watching you”.
Stay
tuned to my blog for details on the Apple iPhone launching in the Caribbean and
Jamaica come November 2013!

meantime read the Apple iPhone Press Release “iPhone
5s & iPhone 5c Arrive in Italy, Russia, Spain & More Than 25 Countries
on Friday, October 25” here!
