<p>According to local media reports (http://gulfnews.com/business/sectors/retail/iran-to-allow-iphone-imports-state-media-1.1877703), Iran is preparing to allow local retailers to import iPhones legally for the first time. Just last month, the country was threatening to ban the devices (https://9to5mac.com/2016/07/19/iran-iphone-ban/) in what it was calling an anti-smuggling move. All that threat did in turn, however, was drive up the price of iPhones already in the country and actually increase smuggling.</p>
