Update: 14th June 2010
We now have details from Vodafone on how much the iPhone 4 will cost in the UK. Vodafone Announces iPhone 4 UK Prices, 16GB £189, 32GB £280.
Three Mobile has just announced that it will also be selling the iPhone 4 in the UK. This means that the iPhone 4 will now be available on five major mobile phone networks in the UK.
Three Mobile joins O2, Orange, Vodafone, and T-Mobile, which means that iPhone 4 customers in the UK will now have much greater choice. This should lead to healthy competition on the iPhone 4 UK price.
Like the other four operators, Three hasn’t yet given out any pricing information or details of contracts. However, you can register on their website to receive information when it becomes available.
Impact of Increased Competition
The addition of Three Mobile to the list of carriers offering the iPhone 4 in the UK is significant. Increased competition among the five major networks—O2, Orange, Vodafone, T-Mobile, and now Three Mobile—could lead to more competitive pricing and better deals for consumers. This is particularly important in a market where the iPhone has a strong following and demand is high.
For example, Vodafone’s pricing of £189 for the 16GB model and £280 for the 32GB model sets a benchmark that other carriers will likely try to match or beat. This could result in lower upfront costs, more attractive contract terms, or additional perks such as increased data allowances or free accessories.
What to Expect from Three Mobile
While Three Mobile has not yet released specific pricing or contract details, their entry into the iPhone 4 market is expected to bring some unique offerings. Three Mobile is known for its competitive data plans and could potentially offer more generous data packages compared to its competitors. This would be particularly appealing to users who rely heavily on mobile internet for streaming, browsing, and social media.
Moreover, Three Mobile’s network coverage and customer service will be key factors for consumers to consider. Historically, Three has been praised for its strong 3G and 4G coverage, which could make it a preferred choice for those looking for reliable connectivity.
