O2 slashes 8GB iPhone to £169

UK mobile firms O2 and Carphone Warehouse are to cut the price of Apple’s iPhone by £100.

The 8GB iPhone will now cost £169, but the newer 16GB model will not receive a price cut.

O2 confirmed speculation that it would follow German carrier T-Mobile, which announced last week that it will drop the price for the 8GB iPhone to 99.

O2 has already reduced the cost of owning an iPhone by overhauling its tariff structure to allow users more voice minutes and text messages.

The news follows rumours of a possible 3G iPhone coming this summer. These cuts have added to speculation that suppliers are clearing out stock in anticipation of a new release.
