It’s a big day for Apple all around the world, with the new iPad touching down in 12 more countries and the iPhone 4 and 4S expanding to five more regional carriers here in the United States.
9to5Mac reminds us that Friday, April 20 continues Apple’s worldwide domination, with the new iPad landing in 12 new countries while the existing iPhone expands it reach beyond the big three U.S. carriers into a handful of regional outlets as well.
As we reported on Monday, the new iPad is now available in 12 more countries around the world. Apple fans in Croatia, Brunei, Cyprus, El Salvador, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Panama, South Korea, St. Maarten, Venezuela and Uruguay.
Sadly, none of these countries will be able to take advantage of the blazing fast 4G LTE data speeds currently enjoyed by U.S. and Canadian users, but hopefully that situation will change as time goes on.
Meanwhile, back on American shores, the iPhone 4S and iPhone 4 continues its own expansion, hopping right over T-Mobile’s head to land with five new regional carriers: Alaska Communications, Appalachian Wireless, GCL, Cellcom and nTelos.
One of the advantages of going with a regional carrier is price: Many of these companies are offering the handset for $50 less than AT&T, Verizon or Sprint, with more competitive voice and data plans as the icing on the cake.
Enjoy your gadgets today, folks!
