And then there were five

UK mobile operator 3 has announced it will be offering Apple's iPhone 4 at the same time as everyone else - 24 June.

Earlier this week T-Mobile announced it too would have the iPhone available from 24 June, which means, for the first time, you have your choice of all the five UK networks should you want to get one. We wouldn't be surprised to see virtual network operators like Virgin Mobile and Tesco Mobile jump on the bandwagon too.

That it really, Apple clearly exercises a fair bit of influence over there companies when it comes to press release, because there's a distinct ‘let's not risk pissing-off Steve' abruptness about them. Neither company is talking about tariffs yet, despite the big day being only two weeks away and the phones being made available for pre-order next Tuesday.

There is one more morsel of iPhone 4-related news, originally unearthed by tech site Pocket-Lint. O2 is generously offering to let people buy themselves out of their existing iPhone contract to the tune of £20 for every month that's left on it. This offer has now been confirmed on the O2 site.

Seriously, does the average iPhone user actually get a kick out of being completely screwed over at every opportunity?

Couldn't agree more. There are alot of daft consumers who love to be ripped off by Apple.

Hahaha my thoughts exactly…
My existing iphone contract was up a couple of days ago with o2…. http://shop.o2.co.uk/new-iphone/tariffs.html - their new iPhone 4 tariffs are worse than the old ones! No more unlimited data, only 500mb.

Hoping Orange, T-Mobile, Vodafone or Three come up with something better….
As we all know, these ‘Unlimited’ claims are a bad joke that just won't go away. Nowadays Unlimited == You need dig through the FUP for the actual restriction. There is no phone internet that is unlimited.

I could see why people went for iphones when they came out but i can't see the point these days. I will never have one because of all the unreasonable (possibly illegal) restrictions and you can't easily swap the battery.
