Apple: No FaceTime for The Middle East ?

AppAdvice is reporting that there is bad news for those who live in the Middle East today, with Apple all but confirming the company will not be offering it’s highly popular video-calling standard, FaceTime, to iOS device owners in the nation of the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

The news comes as DU, the carrier which will be providing the iPhone 4 in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) starting tomorrow, have confirmed via a tweet (found by @TUAW) that iPhone 4 owners will not be able to make FaceTime calls in the nation.

Our iPhone 4 customers won’t be able to make FaceTime calls, as this feature is currently unavailable in the UAE.

The second tweet read:

“Sorry for that! But it’s not in our hands and we’ll keep you posted of any further updates.”

it is so far unclear why DU decided to make the move to exclude FaceTime from it’s iPhone 4 offering, however AppAdvice notes the decision could have been caused due to VoIP restrictions.
