iPhone 5 Silently Launches in More Countries

Apple’s iPhone 5 has officially launched in more than 100 different countries but the ones that broke the 100 mark were barely mentioned in the news.

CNN reported on the remarkably low-key events surrounding the December 21st launch of the iPhone 5 in many key Asian and African countries.

Some of the unpopularized countries to receive the iPhone 5 last Friday included Barbados, Botswana, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Egypt, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Madagascar, Mali, Mauritius, Morocco, Niger, Senegal, St. Lucia, St.Vincent & the Grenadines, Tunisia, Uganda and St. Kitts.

Seems like a pretty big list not to make national headlines the world around, eh?

Well, you can’t really blame news outlets for the spotty coverage of the launch of iPhone 5 in many of the aforementioned countries because of the steep holiday vacations many people were on. Nevertheless, CNN Fortune writer Philip Elmer-Dewitt managed to spot the news about the Vietnam launch and many of the other countries who were on the receiving end of the iPhone 5 last week.
