Globe and Smart to Launch iPhone 4s this December 16th

For the past few weeks, Globe and Smart have been "entertaining" the people with their one-upping updates about the new iPhone 4s on Twitter and Facebook. Globe used to be the exclusive partner of Apple in the Philippines for the iPhone. Now with Smart's new leadership and an obviously deep pocket, they will also launch the new iPhone 4s this week.

Honestly, people really don't care who's the first one or who's threatened or who's got the best launch party. People buy mobile phones, yes. But that phone will be useless if the network itself is crappy. AFAIK, all networks here have their own crap stories to tell. People who are currently subscribed to their respected service providers will naturally go to the current provider they have, its a no brainer, and Apple fans will buy them irregardless.

Both Globe and Smart will be having grand launch parties for the iPhone 4s this Thursday (December 15th). Globe will have a party at the Ayala Museum at 8:00PM on December 15th and will exactly launch the iPhone 4s at 12am on December 16th. Smart meanwhile will close down the entire Rockwell Powerplant Mall on the 15th from 8:00PM to 4:00AM the next day.

The only winners here are the consumers. The pricing would hopefully be competitive this time, and that would mean some people changing loyalties.

First, Smart announced that they will release the iPhone 4S here in the Philippines, and then, Globe announced that they got the agreement from Apple that they are the one who will release the iPhone 4S. So, this means that both company will launch the 4S.
