Apple iPhone 4S without a camera being offered in Singapore

A cameraless version of the Apple iPhone 4S |
Just to be sure, this is not an officially sanctioned Apple modification and the carrier is simply opening up the device and stripping out the camera. For that, the price is raised to a premium level and the warranty is voided. While some manufacturers offer versions of their phones without a camera (BlackBerry, especially), until Apple offers a version of its devices without a shooter, this is the only way that Singapore military members get to enjoy the iPhone 4S. And for the carriers, it is enough of a lucrative market to make it worth their while.

@Belovedson You're an idiot, there was not any disrespect stated towards soldiers. I'm saying that it would be smarter to get a phone that comes without a camera than getting an iPhone and getting the camera taken out then be left with an opening for the camera that is no longer there.

It's actually very brilliant. Governing bodies require that cell phones have no camera to protect sensitive information. RIM has gotten a very large chunk of business/money by following that model and making models with NO CAMERA. Put yourself in their shoes. Think it was dumb for them to take the camera out? Before you answer, think about the sums of money they have made.

@LoneShaolin I am completely aware that it's only for the military. The point I was making was why go through the hassle of removing the camera and being left with a gaping hole when you could buy a phone that was manufactured without a camera.

If it does happen, it won't be until the next iPhone is announced when they can release all versions of it at the same time.

AFor those who think that this is dumb, plz think again. At the moment, the best non camera phone is most prob the 9900 or 9790 whcih does nt have much apps or games on it. Military service is a whole 2 years. I just did my national services 2 years back and the only phone available to me was a symbian e51 and g700 biz edition and walkmanphone w900. It was after a while then there is a htc snap and touch 2 which runs on windows 6.5. At the moment, excluding the iPhone, this is a rather lousy a lousy catalog of phones. Plus, not all place allowed the use of itouch and you cant bring devices with screen larger than 4.3 inch.(PSP's screen)
so if anyone wld be legally mod their iPhone, then I am sure that this would be a lucrative biz. Wld u rather a bb or a iPhone?( excluding those outdated symbian and windows phone)
