And in the UK today, much rejoicing. As predicted, mobile provider O2 announced that they will be dropping the price of the 8GB iPhone to £169 until June 1st—that’s £100 less than it originally retailed for when it was released in November of last year. The 16GB model, meanwhile, is still available for the original £329.
In Germany, T-Mobile sharply dropped the price of the 8GB iPhone earlier this month, adding heft to the rumors that a new model of iPhone is imminent. With O2’s deal running until June 1st, and the related supply shortages we’ve been hearing about, it seems logical that we’ll see some sort of refresh of the iPhone line in June—which, come to think about it, is right on time with a certain tech pundit’s (later-retracted) prediction. Iiiiiinteresting. Then again, maybe that’s just the timeframe for a 32GB iPhone. You never know with these jokers.
And if you buy through Quidco.co.uk you get £100 cash back ergo an iPhone for £69. I thank you!
