Ewan, from The Mobiles Show and The Rock Show has some interesting chatter about Apple’s forthcoming iPhone.

Anyway, the scuttle on the net is that Apple are going to (in part) bypass the US networks altogether and launch their own with a brand new invention from the networks, the MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator). In effect Apple would hire bandwidth/airtime from a network (sounds like they’re using Sprint) and label the network “Apple.” People would get SIM cards from their nearest Apple Store (or www.apple.com) and away they go. The MVNO has anumber of operators in the UK (Fresh, Tesco and of course, Virgin Mobile) so really it’s a no-brainer in my mind.
