Nov 15 Samsung won’t obstruct iPhone 4S sale in South Korea

Samsung has tried a lot to block the release of iPhone 4S in a number of countries in the world to the date. Now it was trying to do so in South Korea as mentioned in a local paper of South Korea. But like prior tries, this one also went failed. And finally the 4S went on sale on last Friday and Samsung stand unwillingly opted not to move against it.

Why? Public relations, guesses The Chosun Ilbo paper. An anonymous executive there says that Samsung is fighting Apple in the global market, but presumably since the company already has such a large market share in South Korea, it’s probably not the it’s not worth the bad press to prevent people there from getting the iPhone 4S. And as Apple is getting more demanding and more popular among the people over there, that may turn over the situation.
