UK iPhone upgrade pricing

The wonderful Chris Phin at MacFormat. has the details of the upgrade pricing for existing iPhone owners:

"Existing iPhone owners on O2's £45 or £75 per month tariffs get handed the new iPhone free. That's it; all you have to do is sign a new 18-month contract. If you're on the £35 contract, you can upgrade to the 8GB model for £99 and the 16GB model for £159. Americans only get a free upgrade if they bought the phone after May 27."

That, as Chris points out, means that we in the UK are actually getting better deals than people in the US - which, for a piece of Apple kit, has to be pretty much a first :)

One other thing about Chris' story: it features a shot of the iPhone 2.0 screen and App Store which has Twitterific in there. I didn't know Craig was doing an "official" version (he's done a jail broken one), but I'm glad to see it.
