A Gaza les nouveaux iPhone se vendent comme des petits pains

Hôtel 5 étoiles à Gaza

Encore de nouvelles terribles souffrances dans le camp de concentration de Gaza ont été révélées. Les iPhone 5 y rencontrent un franc succès. Malgré leur prix très élevé. (Ca n'empêche pas Le Figaro de tomber dans le misérablisme pro-Gaza et anti-israélien.)

Elder of Ziyon rapporte cette histoire

"Apple’s new iPhone 5 is selling well in the Gaza Strip despite inflated prices, reaching the Palestinian enclave via smuggling tunnels even before high-tech hub Israel next door. The cutting edge smart phone is being snapped up for almost double what it costs in the United States, its price jacked up by middlemen on its circuitous delivery route from Dubai via tunnels linking the blockaded territory with Egypt.


The iPhone 5 will not be available until December from mobile operators in tech-mad Israel, which along with Egypt maintains a partial blockade of Gaza to prevent the entry of anything that could be used for military purposes.

But the phones have been available for a couple of weeks in Gaza and they were on display on Monday in three independent mobile stores in a one-block radius in downtown Gaza City.

Prices ranged from 4,500 Israeli shekels ($1,170) for the 16 gigabyte model to 5,700 ($1,480) for 64 gb.

“I ordered 30 and I’ve sold 20 so far,” said one dealer. “We can order as many as we want. But most people are waiting for the price to go down. They’re pretty expensive.” Lire la suite ICI.
