FRUIT THEMED outfit Apple is hoping to boost its sales of the iPhoney Jesus phone in Latin America.
The reassuringly expensive toy will be bought to more than a dozen countries starting later this year.
Apple has signed a deal with America Movil, which is controlled by Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim. Other than that it is not saying much more, because that would be helpful and informative for people.
However America Movil has 159.2 million subscribers in 16 countries, including Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Mexico and it is fairly likely the deal will be exclusive.
According to the slimline press release, the Jesus phone will be available in Latin America by the end of the year. µ
