Apple iPhone 5 is a hot seller on the Gaza Strip
Share:
Moving to a totally un-related story from the Middle East, it turns out that Apple Maps has done it again. Israel's Maariv newspaper last week reported that the new Apple mapping application for iOS 6 incorrectly does not list Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, and the built-in World Clock app shows Jerusalem as a city that doesn't belong to a country.

If The casing is different then it's not the same Einstein

It's a much superior phone to anything else out there. Even Google failed and made poor copies of it.

again that's not apple's fault,that's the same case in nokia maps and google maps. just head to ur maps app (google or nokia;whatever handset u use) and u'll find that's the norm so stop making buzz out of nothing
btw i am not a pro apple or an apple fan and never owned an apple device,not a macbook not an ipod not an iphone not an ipad
all i use and used is symbian and android currently 603 and galaxy s3!
but right is right, so it must be mentioned

Apple is right simply because Jerusalem was occupied by Israel in 1967. and it is the capital of free Palestine. read the history first.

If by 'fine' you mean they have adapted to daily violence and racism, then yeah I guess they are.

You are swallowing too much Palestinian propaganda. There are some living in very poor situations, but the ones skimming the aid are doing very well for themselves.

Because iPhones have a property to explode they can be used as frag grenades too

one of the dealer had sold 20 out of 30 iphones. lol title of this article sounds more like sarcasm by calling ip5 a hot seller.

Never thought that phonearena was a propaganda site for Israel too, implying that the people of Gaza are fairly well off if they can afford even more overpriced iPhones than usual.

Yep, the ones skimming the aid and keeping it for themselves are doing very well indeed. Not only that, it must be making them stupid to pay this much for this phone.

Most countries don't recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital. Just typical Israelies complaining about facts.

Israel is a pure terrorist evil country.
