Just out of curiosity, anyone knows the fans distribution of apple iPhone smartphone?

Apple fourth generation 4G iphone smartphone (also known as iphone 4 smartphone) is predicted to sell well especially in United States and Europe although fourth generation 4G networks are still immature in many countries.

Those staying in Malaysia may like to find out whether iPhone 4G smartphone will replace iPhone 3GS smartphone in Malaysia in my previous article. This article also recorded the 3G coverage in major cities in Malaysia such as Kuala Lumpur, Pulau Pinang, Johor Bahru, Kuching, Kota Kinabalu, Kuantan and hot tourist spots such as Langkawi and Genting Highlands.

The retail prices of iPhone 3GS 32GB and 16GB smartphones in Malaysia are about RM2990 and RM2490 respectively. Using the conversion rate given by The World’s Favorite Currency and Foreign Exchange Site which is approximately 1USD = RM3.3, the retail prices of iPhone 3GS 32GB and 16GB smartphones in Malaysia are about USD906 and USD755 respectively.

The price of apple iPhone 4 smartphone will be higher than apple iPhone 3GS smartphone. Therefore, consumers will buy iphone 4 smartphone if only telcos in Malaysia such as Maxis, Digi and Celcom start to reduce the selling price of iPhone 4 smartphone and iPhone 3GS smartphone to acceptable levels. This action also applies to other telcos as well especially in Asia region. Smart shoppers and consumers will continue to monitor the changes of  the prices of iPhone 4 smartphones in their countries.  The selling prices will eventually drop to acceptable levels for most smart shoppers and consumers.
