Apple: iPhone 4 available in 17 additional countries starting July 30

During Apple’s last press event, Steve Jobs announced the iPhone 4 would be launched into 17 additional markets starting July 30. Since the press event largely focused on the iPhone 4s antennagate issue, not much attention was given to the additional iPhone 4 launches. However, in a press release today, Apple is reminding us of the 17 different countries that are expected to launch the iPhone 4 by Friday. The 17 countries include: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, New Zealand, Singapore, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. Customers can purchase Apple’s latest smartphone through Apple retail stores, Apple’s online store, and authorized Apple retailers. As of now, the iPhone 4 is currently available in France, Germany, Japan, the UK and the US. Pricing for the iPhone 4 in the newly launched markets should be $199 for the 16GB version and $299 for the 32GB version.
