Today's Financial Times - not a publication given to printing rumours without some justification - has a story on Apple's plans for the iPhone in Europe. It claims Apple has struck three separate deals with operators, meaning that O2 will exclusively have the iPhone here in the UK, while T-Mobile will have it in Germany, and Orange in France.
Besides making us feel a bit sorry for poor old Vodafone, which appears to have been left out of the iPhone party for the time being, the story also has got us excited. Why? Because it claims Apple will announce all these deals next week at the IFA tech industry show in Germany, bringing the actual launch of the iPhone here closer.
But we're steeling our wallets for a shock. The FT also claims that Apple isn't letting its operator partners subsidise the price of the iPhone. As we calculated the other day, this could mean shelling out £399 for an 8GB iPhone.
