iPhone for £720!

T-Mobile in Germany will allow customers to buy Apple's new iPhone without having to sign up to a T-Mobile contract. This is after Vodafone a rival mobile phone company obtained a court injunction against it.

The catch is that the contract-free handset comes at a very steep price of 999 Euros that's £720! Customers who buy the unlocked phone will also have to pay for an airtime contract with their provider, racking up the cost even further.

A German court granted Vodafone a preliminary injunction this week preventing T-Mobile from locking the iPhone's SIM card to T-Mobile.

Before the German court injunction, customers who wanted the iPhone had to sign up to a 24-month T-Mobile contract costing a minimum of £845 in order to buy the phone.
