Compare iPhone 4 deals online


iPhone 4 will be available to order in 24 hours, on the 24th of June. Customers will have the option of 16GB/32GB memory options and a traditional glossy black or modern smooth white colour scheme. In addition to this the iPhone 3GS 8GB becomes available with superb pricing entry points and range of tariffs to suit all needs.

T-Mobile and 3 have yet to reveal their pricing and we’ve heard from a reliable source that there could be some cheaper options for business users and self-employed within the next couple of weeks. But for now, let’s take a look at the initial offers from Vodafone and Orange, which will be available to buy online tomorrow, and O2’s deals which will only be available to buy in-store.

iPhone 4 16GB - To buy the handset for just £29 all three networks are offering 1200 minutes for £45pm on a 24-month contract. Here the similarities end though with Vodafone offering 1GB of Internet/Web mail per month, 1GB of Wi-Fi usage with BT Openzone and 5MB of European roaming data usage per day. Orange has offered ‘unlimited’ mobile Internet and Wi-Fi with BT Openzone with a fair usage policy of 750MB per month. Unlimited access to The Cloud and BT Openzone Wi-Fi (fair usage policy in force) is provided by O2 along with 750MB of data usage.

For those wishing to keep the monthly line rental to a minimum, O2 and Vodafone offer £25pm rentals with the iPhone available at £279/£219 respectively and Orange offer a rental at £30pm with a fantastic price of only £169 for the handset. The same data offers apply as above but with O2 lowering their data usage 500MB per month and Vodafone removing their free European roaming data.

iPhone 4 32GB - Things get a little shaken up here so those who desire the high-end memory iPhone 4 can really take advantage of the networks different takes on what the user may want.

Vodafone and Orange tempt those who want a low handset cost with Orange pricing the iPhone at £29 with unlimited minutes, data and Wi-Fi for £75pm whilst Vodafone costs the handset at £59 with 3000 minutes, 1GB of data, 1GB of Wi-Fi and include their 5MB daily European roaming promotion.

Lower monthly line rentals see the handset costs ballooning up to £300+ but O2 provide some nice middle ground. Its £45pm/1200 free minutes and 750MB of data plan have the iPhone priced at £129 with unlimited access to The Cloud and BT Openzone.

iPhone 3GS 8GB - The release of the iPhone 4 opens up an attractive set of offers here for the new 8GB release of the iPhone 3GS. Provided free of charge across all three networks with 600 free minutes at £35pm the iPhone 3GS becomes a tempting, low cost offer. Various amounts of data and Wi-Fi usage are on offer to ensure the best of the iPhones features can be enjoyed without the threat of large bills arriving through the letter box.

A full set of 18 month contracts are also available with Vodafone providing the handsets at the same cost but with an additional £5pm added to the rental. Orange has taken the opposite route with the line rental remaining the same but with a significant increase in the iPhones cost.

We think the networks should be praised for being brave enough to take a range of different approaches to the device and line rental costs as this has ensured that you, the user, can get the very best deal tailored to your own needs.

iPhone 4 arriving in just two weeks


Suddenly two and a bit weeks seems like a lifetime but that’s how long we have to wait for the new iPhone 4, arriving June 24th on O2, Orange, T-Mobile and Vodafone. Guaranteed to be one of the hottest smartphones for 2010 the iPhone 4 boasts a 3.5 inch Retina display with a resolution 960×640 pixels, which is four times as many pixels as previous iPhones, over 100,000 pixels per square inch and the highest resolution in any mobile phone. It’s so detailed that the human eye cannot distinguish individual pixels and the fingerprint resistant coating ensures images stay bright and vivid.

The design is as cool as the list of features with flat surfaces and a stainless steel band. The iPhone 4 measure just 9.3mm and will be available in 16GB or 32GB form, with a colour choice of black or white. Video calling is now capable and users can switch between the front facing self-portrait camera and back facing scenic camera during a call. But Apple couldn’t leave the built-in optics there, the 5 megapixel camera promises excellent photographs and comes with LED flash, geo-tagging and touch-to-focus whilst the HD video recorder captures 720p video at 30fps. Budding film enthusiasts can not only create their own movies but also edit them and add transitional effects with the iMovie application.

The iOS4 operating system brings true multitasking to the iPhone without degradation to the battery life. Applications can be moved into separate folders and voice activated commands provide a more fun way to access your latest app download. A unified inbox keeps incoming messages in one place whilst the Safari Web browser lets you go everywhere.

The impressive feature set continues with 3D movement controlled gaming, iBooks and a built-in iPod for playing the latest music and video downloads from iTunes. The good news here is that enjoying these features to the fullest doesn’t cause the battery any problems with its performance boosted by 40% compared to previous models. When time comes to step away from the virtual world provided by the iPhone 4, A-GPS, maps and a digital compass ensure the iPhone is still your best friend.

If you find it hard to decide what phone you should purchase next then you will simply love Apple for creating another masterpiece, the Apple iPhone 4.
