The Apple iPhone continues its attempt to take over the world one step at a time by rolling out in more than a dozen Latin American countries, beginning later this year. The company inked a deal with Carlos Slim's America Movil SAB, the top mobile service provider in Latin America, which operates in 16 countries, including Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Mexico.

"We're excited to be working with America Movil to bring the iPhone to Latin America later this year, and we can't wait to get this revolutionary phone in the hands of even more people around the world," Apple spokeswoman Natalie Kerris told the Associated Press.

Specific details of the plan, including carrier exclusivity, have yet to be announced. Apple recently signed a deal with a second carrier in Italy, raising some questions about the company's commitment to one carrier per country.
