Many carriers all over the world have jumped through all aorts of hoops in order to secure that precious iPhone deal with Apple but this is the first time carriers that have already offered the apple smartphone are giving up on it
According to HI-TECH Russian vimpelcom known by its beeline brand has broken all ties with Apple over serving the iPhone after its contract expired
This is the third major carrier in russia that has gon this road and some hypothesize that apple's condissions are not ideal.other think that a newly-inked deal with samsung is the reason vimpelcom distanced itself from Apple
in any case this dosen't mean that Apple devices will be compleatly gon from the large and demanding Russian market Apple akready has a functioning online store with a brick and moreta one in the works. However,those looking to purchase the smartphones at a subsidized price with a contract will be out of luck
Apple's market share in russia for the first quarter of this year shrunk from 9% n Q1 1012 to 8.4% this, combined with the strong performance of WP in the country has allowed carriers to give up on the iPhone, which is usually costing them quite dearly,without losting a lot of subscribers
