Apple Ex. CEO John Sculley to Launch His Own Brand obi in Pakistan

The new company, Obi Worldphone, aims to offer premium-designed phones to developing markets of the world.nThe idea is not to hit the developing smartphone markets with more affordable handsets rather to provide them further with plastic devices that serve as hollow shells of the high-end counterparts sold. Sculley’s Obi Worldphone wants to offer young people a slightly more premium device with elegant packaging.

According to our resources more smartphones are expected to be released other than these two models upto Pakistani market demand
