MANILA, Philippines -- Globe Telecom said the latest version of Apple's iPhone will be available across all subscribers but the company has not yet disclosed when exactly it will launch the handset locally.

The recently launched iPhone 3G will be available to Globe's postpaid and prepaid subscribers in the Philippines later this year, according to a Globe announcement.

Globe's announcement did not carry much other details, including pricing schemes. The company said it has 21 million subscribers to date.

"We can't wait to get this revolutionary mobile device in the hands of even more people around the world," said Tim Cook, Apple's chief operating officer, as quoted in Globe's announcement.

"We are thrilled to bring iPhone 3G to millions of mobile customers in the Philippines," he said.
