Apple reportedly fired to Samsung’s cage grass in South Korea with the launch of the iPhone 17, the first batch to be sent to this region

The iPhone 17 family is said to have entered mass production earlier this month, with Foxconn surviving with an ordinary approach to distributing bonuses to employees in an effort to meet Apple’s demanding targets. The company has queued up several countries where the initial batch will arrive first, with the US clearly the most preferred, followed by China. However, the Samsung home market in South Korea has also been included in the list, because Apple aims to carve a piece of cake for itself.

The new detail revealed that shortly after the launch of the iPhone 17 ended on September 9, the pre-order in South Korea will begin shortly after

Formula entering South Korea will be repeated with the launch of the iPhone 17, after last year’s success, when Apple targeted Samsung’s market share with the opening of the 16 iPhone 16 series. This time, with an announcement expected to occur on September 9, Herald Crop reported that the pre-order in South Korea will start from September 12. As for the official release, the iPhone 17 lineup will be available to be purchased starting September 19.

The report also stated that there was an disagreement in the industry about whether Apple would include South Korea as one of the first countries to receive the initial iPhone 17 shipping batch. However, given that the market is dominated by Samsung, with counterpoint research states that cumulative sales reached 82 percent from January to July this year, the region has a significant interest for Apple, and has the potential to have millions of sales.

Then again, some people in the industry do not believe that the launch of the iPhone 17 will be realized as a raging success for Apple, and that is not due to lack of interesting features. The report states that because the Cupertino company will be forced to raise prices thanks to tariffs, updated numbers can be too much to be borne by consumers, resulting in lower sales. Then again, Apple can disguise the price increase of certain iPhone 17 models with an increase in storage, which is done by the company with the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
