Orange will apparently announce an agreement with Apple in the next days in order to sell iPhones in the UK. This offer becomes available once O2′s exclusivity contract comes to an end. This is a part of Apple’s bigger plan of raising their sales by offering iPhone to several new carriers in countries where sales were already high.
Orange was rumoured to sign a deal with Apple but they refused to comment upon this agreement. Talking about the possible merger between Orange and T-Mobile that could create UK’s largest mobile carrier with 37% of market share, senior executives suggested that they may have a big chance signing the deal with Apple.
Tom Alexander, the current Orange CEO, who will have the same position at the merged company said that he wants this to be a network chosen by many phone vendors.
