Cheaper iPhone from O2 this summer

o2 logoThe iPhone 3G carrier in the UK, O2, is rumored to offer the iPhone 3G for a lower price, as all are waiting for the new iPhone, which will come out this summer.

For the moment the 8 GB version is available for free on £44.05 a month contracts, whereas the 16GB iPhone is free only on a £73.41 a month contract, but as the rumors say the 8 GB will appear to be on £35 a month contracts and 16 GB – on £45 tariffs. This is yet uncertain now, but it is likely to be true, since almost everyone is expecting a newer iPhone to come out this summer, as an annual summer release. Especially with news of OS 3.0 being announced this week, it’s usually a good indication of things to come.

Another rumor also states that Orange may also begin selling the next-gen iPhone, by this putting an end to O2’s reign of exclusivity in the UK.
