A story that MacNN and most other tech-news sites carried a few days ago about a government ban on iPhones and Blackberry models in Argentina may be plausible, but is at present not true, reader reports suggest. The government has been known to engage in such tactics to try and strongarm more manufacturing in the country, but has not at present barred sales of the affected electronic devices, suggesting that the original source story was just a plausible prank.
