Well over a month after announcing its German and British partners, Apple has finally reached a firm deal to sell the iPhone in France, pairing up with Orange from France Telecom. The device will sell for 399 Euro (almost $575), and the data plans have not yet been announced.
France has been a tough nut to crack for Apple, as the nation has rather robust unlocking laws for cell phones that would appear to run counter to the iPhone’s business model. Only time will tell.
