Sales of the iPhone 4S have been slow in South Korea, according to a new report from the Korea Times.
The report claims that customers aren’t picking up the phone due to a lack of battery life and 4G support, with the publication also reporting that pre-sales totalled between 150,000 and 300,000 units.
The report also claims that many users are keen to pick up smartphones that use the 4G network, while the iPhone 4 still operates on 3G.
The iPhone has been put up against its biggest competition yet, with a number of handsets from HTC and Samsung being advertised as alternatives, including the newly released Galaxy Nexus.
