Singapore retailers pull iPhone after Apple threats
Apple would have a field day here in the Philippines… where unlocked iPhones sell for as much as $650. The problem is there really is no Apple presence here except for authorized resellers. That makes it easy for illegal retailers to thrive.
Apple has been cracking down on retailers selling illegally unlocked iPhones – the company’s Danish branch last week threatened wireless retailer Telekæden about the same issue – and is currently targeting wireless distributors in Singapore. After sending emails that implied legal action would be taken against shops that did not comply, retailers began pulling the units from shelves. Reuters reports that Apple would charge the stores approximately $700 USD per unit sold illegally. MacNN
