Apple needs to make some sacrifices, in order to see the iPhone reaching even parts of the world where too much technology is bad. The company has reportedly agreed to removing the GPS function on its iPhone 3G prior to deploying it in Egypt.

The New York Times noted that Apple complied with a demand from the Egyptian government, who cited security vulnerabilities if the smartphone gets to keep the GPS.

According to the newspaper, Egyptian blogger Ahmed Gabr, who writes on gadgetsarabia.com, wrote in an e-mail: “The point is that using a GPS unit you can accurate coordinates of any place and thus military bases and so on could be easily tagged.”

This year, we’ve seen a miracle right before our eyes, when Apple announced the availability of the iPhone on multiple markets around the world.

Hitting the Egyptian market in undoubtedly one big step ahead for Apple, especially since the company is very much interested in getting the iPhone to as many consumers as possible and reaching record sales figures… even if that means making some adjustments here and there.

On the other hand, if Apple was willing to make the compromise for Egypt, what are they willing to make for China, which is somewhat the dream-market for gadgets? Hundreds of millions of users potentially waiting in line to get an iPhone…this time legit, how could Apple pass on that, even if that means modifying the iPhone...
