When the iPhone was announced, Steve jobs had said that each employee of the company would be offered one. Of course it was necessary that that the iPhone is officially proposed in the country where the employees live.
Even though this was very quickly regulated in the United States, the employees of Apple France are still waiting, although the iPhone has been available for a few months now. Soon they will be made happy. The telephones are already in stock on their premises. They only await the start of the pro offers of Orange (which are now available on their site iphone.orange.fr) to enroll to a specific subscription.
It is necessary to recognise this disordered state: the employees of Apple promoting an device that they do not use themselves.
