Earlier today (11 November 2011) Apple<\/a> announced that they launched the iPhone 4S in 15 new countries<\/a>, including Hong Kong and South Korea.<\/p>\n

When Apple first announced the iPhone 4S in October 2011<\/a>, they revealed plans for three launch waves. The first included 7 countries, the second 22, and the third wave would see the device available in more than 70 countries before the end of the year.<\/p>\n

It is widely anticipated that South Africa would form part of this final wave for 2011<\/a>, but it isn\u2019t known exactly when the local launch will be.<\/p>\n

Neither MTN nor Vodacom<\/a>, which both sold the iPhone 4, were able to provide firm launch dates for the iPhone 4S, with MTN\u2019s<\/a> general manager of products, services and innovation, Mike Fairon<\/a>, saying that they would \u201ccommunicate any developments in this regard in due course. All media enquiries should kindly be directed to Apple<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, industry sources previously confirmed that a 2011 launch for the iPhone 4S in SA<\/a> is likely.<\/p>\n

This was confirmed by Vodacom CEO Pieter Uys<\/a> at the 2011 MyBroadband conference. Uys was asked when they would launch the iPhone 4S, and he answered that he expected it to be available before the end of the year.<\/p>\n

Cell C and 8ta were asked whether they would be also have the iPhone 4S available on their networks, but were unable to confirm or deny it.<\/p>\n
