iPhone 5 arrives in Dubai

The iPhone 5 is now available at SIASA Dubai and will be distributed to other retailers and wholesalers through the SIASA distribution channels in the UAE and the GCC.

The iPhone 5, the worlds much awaited Smartphone went on sale worldwide on Friday 21st September 2012 after its launch in Australia, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Britain, France and Germany. It will launch in 22 more countries weeks later. It is not yet clear when apple will be releasing the iPhone 5 in the middle east, giving international mobile phone distributors like SIASA the opportunity to supply consumers direct.

Director Mohammed Sadiq said, "We are pleased to be one of the first distributers in the region to supply the iPhone 5. We have received twice the number of orders on the iPhone 5 compared to last year's iPhone 4s. Our phones have not stoped ringing since the announcement of the iPhone 5 last week in the USA. Wholesalers and retailers are desperate to get their hands on the iPhone 5 due to the high demand in the GCC region. We have already sold out in our UK branches and have just about managed to reserve stock for our Dubai and GCC customers. We are also looking to import from our Hong Kong branch in order to meet the demand. I have personally had a good look at the new iPhone 5 and am very impressed with new technology and the thought process that has gone into the design."

The much awaited iPhone 5 is the thinnest and lightest iPhone ever, completely redesigned to feature a stunning new 4-inch Retina display, an Apple-designed A6 chip for blazing fast performance; and ultrafast wireless technology, all while delivering even better battery life. iPhone 5 comes with iOS 6, the world's most advanced mobile operating system with over 200 new features including: the all new Maps app with Apple-designed cartography and turn-by-turn navigation; Facebook integration; Passbook organization; and even more Siri features and languages.
