It has almost been a year since iPhone’s phenomenal rise and launch, the questions that remain are when will it hit the shores of Singapore and which telecom carrier will win the rights to it.
With Singtel’s CEO previously expressing confidence in winning the rights for it weeks ago, it still leaves much doubt due to the fact that it hasn’t been confirmed.

Whether if the sets are going to be 3G enabled is still a big question mark.
With the iPhone set for release this June and confirmations of it being tied to Singtel, iPhone TuT forsees a booming demand for it to be cracked and unlocked to the different telcom carriers in Singapore. Previously, Apple clammed down on errant sellers in Singapore’s famous tech complex, Sim Lim Square for selling unlocked phones for S$1000(US$690) by threatening them with legal action.
