The Apple iPhone 4S will be available for purchase in Thailand on Dec. 16.
Dtac, AIS, and TrueMove – the three major carriers of Thailand – each have announcements on their websites about the smartphone’s release date.
Dtac says that customers can pre-order the iPhone on Dec. 9 and pick it up at stores on Dec. 16. TrueMove customers can sign up to receive news alerts before others.
The iPhone 4S will be available in 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB models. The most notable new features of the phone are an improved 8-megapixel camera, new operating system, and the much ballyhooed Siri – a voice command personal assistant application.
Coconuts Bangkok prediction: This model definitely won’t be as popular as previous ones in Thailand, because it’s physically almost identical to the iPhone 4. Consequently, the most important part of owning the newest iPhone – showing it off – will be rendered useless because it’s indistinguishable from the last model.
