Apple not happy Smart spilled the beans on the iPhone 4S

It’s not a surprise that Apple wasn’t happy that Manny Pangilinan, Chairman of PLDT-Smart, spilled the beans on the upcoming launch of the iPhone 4S in the Philippines. The recent story that Smart will also release the iPhone 4S by December was certainly prematurely announced.

Having known Apple thru the years of covering the beat, the company is very strict when it comes to announcements.

From previous experience when Globe still had exclusive distribution of the iPhone in the country, Apple doesn’t even reveal anything until one or two weeks before the release date. Apple is very secretive and very controlling.

The first time they introduced the iPhone in the country, only 5 local journalists were able to see it before the launch and they were briefed separately, one by one.

MVP must have been too eager to tell the press that they finally got rights to carry the iPhone 4S he forgot about the non-disclosure. Don’t think he’ll even get a slap on the hand. But that’s how Apple rolls.

    Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!

    Dito makikita ang natural na ugaling Pinoy!
    1. Payabangan
    2. Pataasan
    3. Pagandahan
    4. Nagsisiraan

    Ito lang masasabi ko..
    1. If you got the money and you like iPhone, then BUY it.
    2. Sa mga Android diehards na sinisiraan ang ibang brands, wag ipilit na mas maganda ang phone mo. Nagmumukha ka kasing tanga sa kapipilit.
    3. Sa mga mamimili, nasa inyo ang huling desisyon. Wag makinig sa mga bugok na sinisiraan ang ibang brands. Makinig sa mga neutral na post.

    Happy Shopping!!!

    GROW UP PINOYS!!!

    Pinagtatalunan nyo ang mga bagay na hindi naman inyo… So what kung gusto ng iba ang Android, so waht kung gusto ng iba ang iOS, so what kung gusto ng iba ang Windows Phone 7… may buti bang idudulot sa inyo kung makumbinsi nyo ang bawat isa na magpalit ng phone at magpalit ng OS?

    Isa pa, hindi naman tungkol sa OS ang topic ng blogger, tungkol sa SMART at APPLE.

    Sana naman baguhin na nating mga pinoy ang ganitong siraan at pulaan. Simpleng bagay lang kelangan pa natin ipamuka sa internet kung gano kayo kababaw.

    Hindi ba puedeng sabihin nyo nalang kung ano ang gusto nyo sa OS ng phone nyo at wag ng siraan ang OS ng iba?

    Hindi ba puedeng wag nalang patulan ang masamang kumento ng iba?

    I’m not against healthy discussion, pero kung magmumurahan lang kayo dahil hindi nyo matanggap na sinisiraan ang nabili nyong mamahaling cellphone wag nalang sana kayong magpost, at pinamumukha nyo lang sa buong mundo kung gano kayo kababaw.

    Hindi naman kayo binabayara ng mga kumpanyang yan para ipagtanggol sila.

    Malamang din namang hindi kayo makakakuha ng discount sa bawat taong marerefer nyo na lumipat ng OS.

    So please grow up people!!!

    RESPETO SA KAPWA, kahit konti lang.

    android os is fragmented and eat too much battery. kailangan pa gamitan ng multicore para maging smooth ang user experience.. look at nokia and windows phone os as of now wala pa sila nirerelease na dual core model dahil alam nila sa smooth ang os nila at kakailanganin lang nila ang multi core kapag may application na nirerequired talaga ang multicore processor. sa nagsasabi na bulok ang iphone wala kayong taste at mga cehap samsung phones lang ang alam nyo. at sa drop test compare ba naman ang glass sa plastic kapag nabagsak mo? common sense naman.

    daming nyong alam. karamihan ng nagsasabi basura ang iphone di pa nakahawak ng iphone. regarding sa drop test. glass po kasi ung iphone and plastic lang ung s2. at dahil marami kayong alam. gumawa na lang kayo ng sarili niyong blog. hindi gaganda ang OS nyo kahit ano pa sabihin nyo masama sa ibang OS. dami talaga matatalino at magagaling sa pilipinas. lahat na kayo techie.
