Rumor: iPhone release in UK set for September
Posted July 17th, 2007 by Mihnea Boiangiu
A rumor about Apple iPhone launch in UK circulates on the Internet. PC Advisor revealed that sources close to Apple said the UK launch is prepared for September 2007. Although the sources are considered almost sure, the UK mobile operator O2 has not reach an agreement with Apple to be the exclusive partner for iPhone.
However O2 had beaten off the rival Vodafone for signing the deal with Apple. Unconfirmed press reports announced that O2 has already signed the contract with Apple to carry UK calls for iPhone.
According to Yahoo News, PC Advisor had contacted O2 and a spokesman confirmed that O2 and Apple had not reached a deal on the iPhone. We can tell for sure that iPhone is expected in Europe before the Christmas. The month predicted for release was November, but looking at the phone’s success I would say Apple is hurrying for the European launch.
