Apple iPhone 14 / Pro will be sold in South Korea, where two major operators have increased Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 subsidies

According to foreign media reports on September 27, although Apple's iPhone 14 / Pro series smartphones launched in the early morning of September 8 began to accept preorders at 8 p.m. the next day and began shipping on the 16th, they have not yet started sales in some countries, and South Korea is one of them.

Pre-orders for the iPhone 14 series will begin on Friday, September 30, and shipments will begin on October 7, according to Apple's South Korean website.

Although Samsung has obvious advantages in the Korean smartphone market, Apple iPhone, as the leader in the global high-end smartphone market, is bound to attract a large number of consumers to buy and compete with Samsung's high-end models after entering the Korean market.

South Korean media reports also show that on the eve of the launch of iPhone 14 in South Korea, South Korea's two major telecom operators have increased subsidies for Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4. Industry observers believe that at a time when Samsung's high-end models are about to compete with Apple's iPhone 14 in South Korea, the two telecom operators are increasing subsidies as a way to improve the competitiveness of Samsung's smartphones.

According to South Korean media reports, SK Telecom, the largest telecom operator in South Korea, and KT, the second largest telecom operator in South Korea, are raising the purchase subsidy for Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 4.

For the 512GB version of Galaxy Z Flip 4jingSK Telecom, the previous subsidy was 280000-52,000 won, which has been raised to 38,000-52,000 won; the previous subsidy given by KT is 255000-650,000 won, and now the minimum subsidy has been raised to 265000 won.
