02 And Car Warehouse Cuts Price Of iPhone

by Heather McLaughlin

Prices are falling on iPhones sold in the UK.

Retailers 02 and Carphone Warehouse recently announced they are dropping the retail price of Apple’s 8GB Smartphone.

O2 dropped the iPhone price by 100 GBP, (about $197) to 169 GBP, or $333. In Germany, T-Mobile dropped prices earlier this month by about 75% to as little as 99 euros, or about $158, with the most expensive service plan.

These lower prices are expected to remain in place until around June 1, 2008. Apple was not behind this decision to lower the prices of 8GB iPhones. Apple is expected to release a new 3G phone about this same time. Current iPhones operate on the EDGE network.
