Apple's device will launch in the UK with O2 on November 9th.
O2 customers will be able to get their hands on an iPhone for £269 - approximately £69 more than AT&T Mobility customers can buy the device for in the US.'Unlocked' iPhones are currently available for import to the UK through unofficial channels like eBay for around £300.
O2 will be offering unlimited data usage (2.5G, EDGE) to anyone with an iPhone on a £35, £45 or £55 monthly contract. No word on terms of the expected revenue share the two companies have in place for ARPU generated by the device, though 10 per cent to Apple seems more likely than the 40 per cent that was speculated yesterday.
O2's iPhone user base will also be able to log-on to wi-fi hotspots for free as part of a separate deal Apple has struck with Cloud.
In addition to O2's network of High Street stores, Carphone Warehouse will also be an official reseller of iPhone.
