 The revolutionary new iPhone from Apple went on sale on 9 November at Apple, O2 and Carphone Warehouse retail and online stores – a total of 1,300 stores.

It combines three devices into one – a  mobile phone, a widescreen iPod®, and a breakthrough Internet device – all based on Apple’s revolutionary multi-touch interface and pioneering software that allows users to control iPhone with just a tap, flick or pinch of their fingers.

Ron Johnson, Apple’s Senior Vice President of Retail, said: “Every Apple retail store will offer support for iPhone at the legendary Genius Bar, and beginning Saturday morning you can learn how to get the most out of your new iPhone by attending a free workshop or scheduling a personal training session through our popular One-to-One program.”

“O2 stores are fully geared up for what will be the year’s biggest product launch,” said Mark Stansfeld, O2’s Sales Director. “We’ve hired and trained hundreds of new iPhone specialists who will be in all 450 O2 stores giving live demos and showing customers how to get the most out of their iPhone.”

Sole network O2

The iPhone will be sold exclusively in the UK through Apple, O2 and Carphone Warehouse’s retail and online stores for £269 (including VAT) with 8GB of storage and will work with either a PC or Mac.

Three iPhone tariffs will be available from O2 starting at £35, which all include free unlimited usage of the O2 mobile data network, and in a market first, free unlimited use of The Cloud, the UK’s largest single public Wi-Fi network, covering over 7,500 cafes, restaurants, airport lounges, pubs and other locations across the UK. In another market first, O2’s iPhone data tariff will be truly unlimited with no fair usage cap.
