iPhone to Launch in UK on Nov 9th
20/09/2007 by swordfish.
Apple yesterday announced its iPhone smartphone-video iPod combo device will launch in the UK on November 9th.
The largest mobile phone operator in the UK, Telefonicas O2, has been awarded an exclusive deal to sell the device, which will be priced at 269 pounds ($536). Apple recently slashed the price of iPhones in the US by one-third, from $500 to $399. Steve Jobs told local UK reporters that the price difference was the result of different taxes and higher trading costs in the UK.
In the UK, the iPhone will be sode through Carphone Warehouse shops, as well as O2 and Apple retail outlets.
The deal with O2, which has almost 18 million subscribers in the UK, is similar to the one Apple struck with AT&T in the US, in that users must subscribe to O2 in order to use the device. AT&T is the largest mobile phone carrier in the US with a nationwide network. However, O2s wireless coverage will handle just 30% of the UK by the iPhone launch date, so the mobile operator is giving iPhone users free access to about 7,500 WiFi hotspots run by The Cloud.
This week, Apple is also expected to announce deals with Deutsche Telekoms T-Mobile in Germany and Orange in France.
