Rumour: O2 to cut iPhone 3G prices, offered free on more tariffs

With a rather misleading headline stating "O2 drops price on 3G iPhone ahead of new Apple device this summer", MobileToday.co.uk has published a rumour that O2 will make the 8GB iPhone 3G available for free on its lower (£35, £45pm) tariffs.

The thinking behind this is that O2 wants to shift existing stock ahead of a new iPhone handset from Apple, which the author has decided Apple will launch in June or July, building on existing speculation.

Though Apple is holding a special event in Cupertino tomorrow, it's expected that this will focus primarily, if not exclusively, on version three of the iPhone's operating system software.

With the proliferation of advanced smartphones from other mobile manufacturers, a new handset from Apple to keep it ahead of the game wouldn't be a surprise - however, adding new features to the software of existing devices would no doubt please current owners and entice new ones to a phone that can still hold its own even against competition from newer handsets.
