Apple's iPhone lands in 10 countries via Vodafone pact
Vodafone said Tuesday that it will bring the iPhone to 10 more countries as Apple methodically rolls out its device across the globe.
In a short statement, Vodafone said:
Vodafone today announced it has signed an agreement with Apple to sell the iPhone in ten of its markets around the globe. Later this year, Vodafone customers in Australia, the Czech Republic, Egypt, Greece, Italy, India, Portugal, New Zealand, South Africa and Turkey will be able to purchase the iPhone for use on the Vodafone network.
Vodafone’s pact comes just a few days after Rogers announced a similar deal–via a terse statement–to bring the iPhone to Canada. It’s unclear how many subscribers Vodafone has in these countries.
