A number of iPhone 4S users have been experiencing SIM issues on their devices.

Apple has long focused on Brazil as a potential market that can bring in huge revenue. With a huge growth of 118 percent over one year in the total Apple sales in Brazil, we shouldn’t be surprised that Apple has now brought iTunes Store to Brazil and other Latin countries.
