iPhone popular on Asia’s black markets
Apple’s iPhone is selling quickly on Asia’s black markets.
The new iPhone looks set to be a huge hit in Asia countries where it goes on sale on Friday, but the sleek smartphone is already in high demand in black markets from Shanghai to Bangkok.
In Thailand, a Southeast Asian hub for pirated goods where Apple Inc’s iPhone is not officially for sale, dealers boast they only need a few weeks to smuggle in the trendy phones and “unlock” them for use on local mobile networks.
