Not to sure if these are the normal Apple iPhone rumours but according to the source below there may be indications of Apple breaking into the Korean and Japanese market, this would be fantastic for those in these countries who want the stunning Apple 3G iPhone.

There have been reports on the web that Japan would not get the iPhone anytime soon, but if these rumours are indeed true then Japan will get this device sooner than they thought. 3G network did not mesh with the current iPhone, but hey with the new iPhone being released it all seems to be good, Apple are definitely looking at bigger markets and are reportedly looking into bringing their next-gen iPhone to both Korea and Japan in a joint venture or should we say joint-launch on Korea Free Telecom (KTF) and NTT DoCoMo. The Apple 3G iPhone would defiantly work fine on the 3G networks in both countries which would make perfect sense to release the 3G iPhone.

The question we may love answered has to be “How will the Apple iPhone do in these countries? We know for a fact that the Apple love China because with more wireless subscribers there which is more than the whole of the USA seems pretty obvious it is a much bigger market and bigger markets cannot not be ignored. So what are the chances of Korea and Japan getting the iPhone?
