An article by Gizmodo posts that the iPhone 4 will be reaching 17 more countries this Friday . Though there is still no news yet when it will arrive here in the Philippines through Apple's carrier partner Globe, snagging a unit in Hong Kong would be the best option for those who cant wait to get the newest iteration of the iPhone. Image from http://www.apple.com Hong Kong is one of those countries which sells the iPhone carrier free.
