Last Friday, November 11th, the iPhone 4S hit stores in Hong Kong. Within the first 10 minutes of being sold, Apple reported that they were out of stock. This was caused by pre-orders and consumers walking in to purchase the phones. The phone has yet to hit the shores of China, however it is predicted that the same situation will occur. The iPhone 4S will be released in China in December. Also the iPhone 4S is to be released in Korea soon, and the Korean Daily News reported that the country's 2 largest telecommunication firms had already began pre-selling the phone with numbers as high as 200,000 and 130,000 for both.

This is good news for Apple and the shareholders. This furthers the proof that the company will survive in the wake of Steve Job's passing. Although it may be soon to say so, the company will in my opinion maintain status quo and its foot hold within the technology industry, if not continue to exceed expectations. As far as the iPhone is concerned, it may have been the most anticipated phone for the Asian countries.
