iPhone UK - the real surprise
OK, so everything panned out pretty much as expected price, tariff and spec-wise. Nothing doing in Ireland as far as we can tell so far, but it as a long-shot. Launch is a few weeks later too, but you can’t win them all.
However, the point the first commentators are missing at present is the only real unique thing about O2’s announcement - free and unlimited WiFi use of The Cloud network (one of the UK’s largest). That’s something the US didn’t get.
