Apple's iPhone officially has a phone company partner in the UK. After weeks of rumors, Apple announced Tuesday that O2 -- the largest UK mobile phone operator -- would be its exclusive wireless carrier there.
The UK launch is scheduled to take place on Friday, November 9, with iPhones sold through Apple and O2 stores, as well as through 1,300 Carphone Warehouse locations.
The price for the 8-GB model will be £269 including VAT. Customers can choose to transfer their current mobile phone numbers, whether with O2 or another carrier. An 18-month contract will include unlimited data. According to news reports, Apple will receive 10 percent of usage revenue.
