Someone cerebrate Apple has self-destructive tendencies and is going to denote a 3 yard iPhone on Monday for the UK market . We are not buying it for many reasons . First , a move like that will kill their own US launching , estrange their customers . But there are many other factor on top of that .
The reporter is describing the most tortuous deal ever , with Vodafone and T - Mobile as carriers and Carphone Warehouse selling it . Why would two carriers share the Jesus Phone , permit alone bestow a third company ?
Then , we know for a fact that negotiations are still afoot with Telefonica / O2 . Is Apple get to announce a partial batch ? Would Vodafone get a mint in UK and leave the remunerative Spanish market out of the equivalence ? Or would they strain to betray it entirely themselves for the whole of Europe ? Would Telefonica / O2 want to give away UK to Vodafone ?

The iPhone also requires some important changes in the carriers ’ backend . Would two carriers make the changes to share it ? Or , like AT&T , would they want long - term undivided deals ?
And lastly , nothing moves in Europe in the summer . The announcement likely will be in September , perhaps at AppleExpo or even later , in Barcelona at the 3GSM . Or we may be absolutely unseasonable and Apple will indeed announce a 3 grand iPhone on monday . And lasers . And holographic projector . And personal teleport light beam too .
