The number of iPhone users has surpassed two million in South Korea in a little more than one year of its local debut, its distributor said Sunday — as reported by “Trading Markets” (http://macte.ch/UGKE7).
Two million iPhones were activated in South Korea as of Jan. 20, including 1.03 million units of the iPhone 4, and 977,000 units of the iPhone 3GS, KT Corp. said in a statement. KT, South Korea’s second-largest mobile carrier, introduced the smartphone in November 2009.
South Korea’s smartphone market is estimated to have reached 6.1 million units in 2010 and is forecast to jump to 16.2 million this year, according to KT.
