Even the 4 being available through some kind of weird but official third party is kind of off to me. I really don’t understand how they haven’t prioritized the US market by now. It is probably the market that spends the most on phones.
The US is also the region with the strongest iOS market dominance. Why compete for 30% of a saturated market, when EU/ME/India is more lucrative and also much closer to the EU based operation. It just makes more sense to focus on domestic markets. Same with many US brands.
