Vodafone UK will also offer the iPhone 29/09/09 - 13.35
Vodafone will also be offering the iPhone in the UK – starting in early 2010. This means all three of the main networks (with T Mobile and Orange merging) will now be offering the iPhone. 3 is now the biggest network not to have a deal with Apple.
From The Telegraph:
“There will be a price war,” said Steven Hartley, analyst at technology research house Ovum. “Research shows that in every country where there is more than one operator selling it, it is cheaper. ”It could be very disruptive, but it depends how Orange play it. If they get really aggressive O2 will have to respond and a full-on price war could start.”
My contract expires in February, and whilst I probably will not be getting a new iPhone until June – I look forward to the lowered prices then.
