Ever since Steve Jobs unveiled the new iPhone at WWDC the excitement regarding the smart phone has shot up considerably. The pre order of the iPhone turned out to be a mess owing to the flaws in the AT&T sites. However, that has failed to deter the enthusiasm of the Apple fanatics who want to buy the phone as early as possible. The iPhone sold over 600000 on a day which brought the sites crashing in both UK and the USA. The demand in countries like German is also unexpectedly high.
Apple has introduced many new features in the iPhone 4 and the OS has also been upgraded. Despite the looming threat from the Android based Smartphone brigade the popularity of the iPhone continues to grow across the globe. In the UK, Apple has made an offer through which the buyers can buy it sans a contract. Sadly in the USA the only option is AT&T which is known for its inferior network coverage. The rush for the iPhone can be bad news for other handsets makers like Nokia which is losing its share in smart phones every month.
The O2 had the right to sell iPhone last year in the UK but this year it is a close competition between Orange, Vodafone and O2. The pre order in the UK is yet to begin. The early reviews that the iPhone 4 has got are largely positive and it is a killer device in terms of specs. The sales will be affected somewhat by the bundled data plans offered by the carriers.
