StarHub seals deal with Apple to offer iPhone

SingTel’s monopoly on the iPhone is finally over. iPhone fanatics can now look forward to buying the gadget from StarHub as well. In a press statement released today, mobile service provider StarHub announced its confirmation to offer the Apple iPhone later this year, along with tailored service plans to its Singaporean consumers.

Information on pricing, tariffs and availability dates were yet to be released.

The deal came after much haggling on the part of StarHub. After a results briefing last Wednesday, StarHub chief executive Terry Clontz had initially announced that StarHub would not be able to bring the gadget in this year, but added that the telco was still in 'dialogue with Apple', citing difficulties because Apple had its ‘priorities signing on distributors.' He added that the iPhone been the source of 'some consternation' for StarHub.
