iPhone war

I just realised at least 30% of my friends on Facebook possess an iPhone! Is this touchscreen phone by Apple really so spectacular or many simply can't resist the temptation?

Few days ago, Starhub and M1 finally started to sell iPhone after successfully sealing the distribution deal. SingTel no longer dominates the local iPhone market... I was walking down Orchard Road Tuesday evening, the day before the two service providers launched iPhone. Promoters carrying baskets of green apples were giving out them out to spread the message. It's a cute idea by Starhub, but someone had used this before. I remember getting a free green apple during a beer promotion, I can't remember the brand now but they were promoting the new green apple flavour.

I felt a bit retarded asking myself why Starhub chose green apples, before I soon realised red ones would have represented SingTel! M1 wasn't doing anything though but I reckon they already have a list of loyal customers queueing up for them. If M1 was to use "apple" promotion too, they would have to coat caramel on the apples - probably the closest thing I can think of ;)

Look at the pictures I captured of the green apple. I actually thought they really did something to the inside of the apple!!! But to my disappointment, the star they meant was actually the apple core when cut into halves.

For people eyeing an iPhone, probably now it's the best time to get one with the competitive rates offered by all the 3 service providers! SingTel has also adjusted their plan prices accordingly!
