Apple have announced that they are launching the iPhone in the UK. It will go on sale on November 9th on the O2 network.
“We picked the best one, the most popular carrier, it’s O2. We’ve since lowered the price of the US phone of the 8GB phone, in the UK the price of the iPhone is £269 including VAT.”
That’s a lot of money for a phone, be interesting to see what the data costs will be?
Details about data plans.
Unlimited data with £35, £45, £55 plans, uses EDGE and GPRS. Hmmm, no 3G not surprised.
Why not 3G?
Steve Jobs says…
“The 3G chipsets are real power hogs. Handset battery life cuts power to 2-3 hours.Our phone has a talk time of 8 hours and that’s really important when you want to use your phone for internet and music. 3G needs to get back up to 5+ hours, something we think well see later next year.”
