Swisscom will not remain the sole provider of the iPhone. On Friday, competitor Orange announced in a press release that it will also offer the American product to its customers.
A few days ago, Swiss telecommunications market leader Swisscom announced the successful conclusion of negotiations with iPhone manufacturer Apple (see ). Now that the contract has been signed and sealed, the multi-purpose cell phone for design freaks should finally be available in Switzerland this year. However, Swisscom will not remain the sole provider of the iPhone. On Friday, competitor Orange announced in a press release that it will also be offering the American product to its customers. In addition to Switzerland, the Orange cooperation also includes countries such as Austria, Belgium, Egypt, Poland, Portugal, the Dominican Republic and various African countries. Orange said that it had agreed with Apple not to provide any further details on the price, the version of the device or the time of market launch for the time being. It is not yet clear whether Sunrise is also still in negotiations with the computer manufacturer Apple. Sunrise spokespersons told the Tages-Anzeiger that they are still interested in the device.
