It seems iPhone has reached the end of its stint in South Africa. Rumors have it that Vodacom has discontinued offering iPhones to its users
Pieter Uys, Vodacom chief executive, told the Business Day last month that “the iPhone for example that we would not have had even today in South Africa if we didn‘t have the muscle of Vodafone helping us to negotiate.”
Wow thanks Piet. But now it‘s reached an end. As I understand they brought in some 20 000 iPhones to South Africa. There are probably another 10 000 iPhones acquired by other means.
So there goes the app game and all the opportunities involved in that.
So in South Africa we don‘t have the Kindle, we‘ve just lost the iPhone, so why would you still build any web app for the local market?
