Czech carrier refuses iPhone 4S, dumps earlier iPhones citing Apple's business terms
Thursday, November 3, 2011
Czech carrier Telefonica Czech Republic will not sell Apple's new iPhone 4S smartphone, one of the fastest-selling consumer electronics devices to launch in recent history. According to a recent report from local Czech newspaper Hospodarske Noviny,
the carrier will also stop selling all prior iPhone models. Details are
limited, but a spokesperson for the carrier cited Apple's business
terms as the reason for the decision. Telefonica Czech Republic's Hany
Farghali did not elaborate, though Apple's iPhone reportedly commands a
much higher carrier subsidy than competing smartphone models - as much
as 40% higher, reports claim - and that could be a factor. Telefonica Czech Republic's local competition, operated by Vodafone and T-Mobile, began selling the iPhone 4S late last month.
