iPhone gets Singapore, Philippines deal and second carrier in Australia, India

If you’ve started to get sick of all the iPhone carrier deal announcements, well, that’s probably because you either don’t live in any of the countries already named, or you do and have an unlocked phone. Either way, try to keep in mind those less fortunate than yourself. Adding to the already impressive roster of iPhone carrier deals we’ve heard over the past week, we now have an announcement from SingTel that it and its Bharti Airtel and Globe Telecom affiliates, as well as its Optus subsidiary, will be bringing the iPhone to Australia, India, Singapore, and the Philippines “later this year.”

But wait! If you’ve been paying attention, then you’ll have noticed that India and Australia have already both had a flag planted in them by Vodafone. More evidence of Apple eschewing the exclusive deal route, as they’ve done in Italy? I guess Apple’s moved on to an open marriage—how adventurous of them.
