iPhone not a success in Almería

Seems like I am in a pretty small minority:

To date, only 36 iPhones (Apples fancy mobile phone) have been sold in Almería. It’s the province in Spain with the least number of units sold. I was going to buy one, but thought… nah, it’s probably rubbish.

I know Chris from Almerimarlife.com has one… so who’s got the other 35? Actually, just found two for sale in Almería on second hand sites, so that’s only 34 in circulation.

Sands has a first generation iPhone but that doesn’t count towards the 36. Oscar a friend of mine here in Almerimar has one, but I haven’t actually seen it but when I used mine the other day he said he had one at home and he is into gadgets.

I bought mine in El Ejido and I know it took aged for them to get them in but they seemed to have had a fair few enquiries …..

Thanks Dave

   I wonder if this has anything to do with the fact, that first it is not a cheap device. Also the fact that Apple is not very predominant in this area.

   It is a combination of things in my view:

   • Yes it is expensive, but not that bad
   • It is more expensive for existing Movistar clients than new clients
   • The Data plan is really poor value
   • Very little public WiFi around to offset the above
   • The culture (as you know) isn’t one that is technology rich
