Kiwi’s might be the first to get the new iPhone, but I’m not sure it will sell as well as expected due to Vodafone over pricing it:

From Friday Kiwi shoppers can buy the 8GB iPhone for $199, provided they sign up for a $250 per month, two-year plan. This works out to $6199 over the two years of the plan, though this includes voice, SMS and 1GB of data per month.

Alternatively you can get a $130 per month plan that gives 500MB of monthly data but the 8GB model will cost you $449.

I’m not sure how this compares to the US, but it’s a cruel blow to Mac fans who just want an iPhone with an affordable contract.

hi Leander,

In Japan, people started to form a line on Tuesday, July 9th.
My friend said the count was about 15 at around 10pm.
