Apple’s revolutionary iPhone finally has a launch date in Mexico, according to a source in the company and employees of some Apple Stores in New York and San Francisco, Dalia de la Paz reports for the Spanish-language Mexico City daily El Universal.
Apple iPhone will launch in June officially in Mexico and in other Latin American countries, de la Paz reports.
According to the sources Apple has a deal with the digital telephony service Telcel. The source said it was also possible that iPhone would launch in some South American countries on the same day and month, but did not specify the exact day, de la Paz reports.
El Universal made several phone calls to customer support Apple in the United States since February and, upon requesting an iPhone, some employees have said that it is not possible to sell iPhone to Mexico, but that will be available in June, de la Paz reports.

WTF I think we have more spending money in Canada….FYI Rogers you suck
Que buena onda que ya vaya a entrar el iPhone a Mexico. Lo que si es una lastima es que sea con telcel, hubiera sido mucho mejor que fuera con movistar, pero que se podia esperar, si el cerdo de Carlos Slim ademas de ser dueño de telcel es accionista de apple. Pero en fin espero que pronto pongan el 3g. Y a los que se quejan de que el iPhone entrara primero en Mexico que en Canada, tal vez influya la gran cantidad de iPhones desbloqueados que se usan en Mexico, es mucho lo que estan dejando de ganar. Saludos
Canadians: Boycott Rogers! It is pathetic that Mexico gets this before Canada. Rogers deserves to be punished.
Don’t subscribe to any additional services from Rogers. Hit them in the bottom line. Jam the customer service lines complaining about this.
What will happen to the already unlocked iPhones in México? Meaning, if I want to use the service ‘right’, do I HAVE TO buy another, or use the one I already have, just exchange the chip, maybe?
TOMENLA PUTOS!!!!!
