Brought back to life to help bolster sales in India, the iPhone 4 is no longer for this world. Or at least the subcontinent. The four-year-old iPhone was resurrected just three months ago in India, selling for under Rs 20,000 (US$333). The push helped to buoy Apple sales in the region in the face of stiff competition from low-cost Android handsets, but it also hurt Apple's average selling price in the last quarter. Having secured the marketshare they wanted, the iPhone 4 is no longer for India.
While the iPhone 4 is off the table as the cheapest Apple smartphone in India, the iPhone 4s is still for sale, as is the iPhone 5c (and the iPhone 5s, for those with wallets stuffed with more rupees).
The The Times of India indicates that the trusty iPhone 4 isn't long for this world elsewhere, having served its purpose:
It will now pull out the product from all markets, one of its trade partners said. Another partner said the iPhone 4 had served its purpose in India: it doubled the consumer base of iPhones to more than 25 lakh people in one year. And, iPhone users generally being brand loyal, it's unlikely that these users will migrate to any other brand, the person added.
Those other markets are Brazil, China, and Indonesia — markets with huge customer bases that are just starting to ease into buying more expensive smartphones like the iPhone.
Apple has been a relatively small player in the overall Indian smartphone market, securing just 2.4% of sales in the country in the last quarter. Samsung ruled the day with nearly 40% of the share, followed by local manufacturer Micromax at 19%, and then Karbonn, Lava, and Nokia.

Sometimes, it's good to have nowhere to hide—and this extending table is a great example. With a perfectly transparent surface, its inner workings have to look presentable. And they sure do.
Apple could be getting ready to open two additional retail stores in NYC, home to the already iconic locations at 5th Avenue, Grand Central Station, SoHo, the Upper West Side, and West 14th Street. The new Apple Retail Stores would in Manhattan's Upper East Side and at below the new World Trade Center's Transportation Hub. The Upper East Side location will be at 940 Madison Avenue, according to InfoAppleStore:
Various sources confirm that construction planning is underway for 940 Madison Avenue, a limestone and marble building now occupied by luxury retailer VBH. The building dates to 1921 and still bears the chiseled name of its original occupant, the United States Mortgage and Trust Company. It was designed by architect Henry O. Chapman and cost about $600,000.
The Real Deal has this to say about the Transportation Hub space:
Computer and iPhone giant Apple — which is expected to take space in the project — was frustrated by the giant "ribs," or columns, that Calatrava included throughout the underground portion of the site. The arching structures are spaced roughly 11 feet apart along the front portion of each store, which has put off some retailers who want to use that space for signage, branding or product display, sources said. Apple even sought a design variance, but was turned down, said one retail source, who asked not to be identified.
With 5 Apple Retail stores in New York City already, is there room enough for 2 more? Hey, they don't call it the Big Apple for nothing, right? (Hey, you knew that was coming!) These will also be the first new Apple Stores in New York following new head of Apple Online and Retail Store, Angela Ahrendts taking over.
Anyone in the area eager for even more Apple Stores near them?

North Korea is a weird place. It sounds a little insensitive to put it in such stark terms, but the arrival of the new North Korea Travel app—the first of its kind—offers a unique new perspective on the isolated country. The app is exactly what it sounds like: a travel guide that "allows users to explore the world's most secretive nation at home, work, or on the go." Sounds like fun, right?
