Zain Launches iPhone 4 in Kuwait

Zain Kuwait has started selling the Apple iPhone 4 two months after VIVA Kuwait. With that the iPhone is now officially available from 2 Kuwaiti carriers. Zain first announced the iPhone 4 deal in January.

FaceTime is available in these iPhone 4 units according to Zain’s website. I expect units sold carry the model numbers MC606AE, MC605AE, MC604AE and MC603AE (United Arab Emirates model number) and just like VIVA a carrier update will enable FaceTime.

These are Zain’s iPhone 4 prices:

More information is available on Zain’s website.

Here is Zain’s English press release, unlike the Arabic press release the English release had the correct number of App Store apps (425,000 not 350,000). However it still claims that iMovie is an iPhone 4 exclusive app (it works on iPod touch 4 and iPad 2).

Kuwait City, Kuwait – June 12, 2011 – Zain today announced it has launched iPhone 4 in Kuwait with a range of tariff plans tailored for iPhone customers.

iPhone 4 is the most innovative phone in the world, featuring Apple’s stunning Retina display, the highest resolution display ever built into a phone resulting in super crisp text, images and video, and FaceTime, which makes video calling a reality. iPhone 4 is powered by Apple’s A4 chip and features a 5 megapixel camera with LED flash, HD video recording and a beautiful glass and stainless steel design like no other mobile phone. iPhone 4 comes with iOS 4, the world’s most advanced mobile operating system. The revolutionary App Store provides access to more than 425,000 apps including the iMovie app built just for iPhone 4.

“Zain Kuwait is delighted to offer iPhone 4 to our customers across Kuwait,” said Zain Kuwait CCO, Omar Al Omar. “With the reliability of our recently upgraded mobile data network and packages tailored to the data needs of iPhone users, customers will have the very best iPhone 4 experience.”
