But it seems to be not only Tele2 who are unhappy with Apple. According to sources, told Aftonbladet there is widespread discontent against Apple in the telecommunications industry. The operators feel that the company uses its power position in the market and make unreasonable demands on both operators and retailers.

But when Aftonbladet calling around to the Swedish operators, the cap on. Neither Telia, Telenor or Comviq want to comment on Apple’s requirements.

“Better with smaller manufacturers’

operator Tre says it is common for mobile manufacturers that are big enough to use its power position.

– This applies to both Apple and Samsung are the dominant companies in the market today. But we have no comments on Apple. In the end it is the customers who decide and we do not interfere in their choices, says Erik Hörnfeldt, Press and Information Officer at Three.

He says, however, that it is easier to work with other suppliers.

– As an operator, it is both easier and more fun to work with smaller producers who are newcomers in the market and who understand that they must work hard to sell their mobiles.

Aftonbladet has repeatedly sought Apple’s press department in Sweden.
