An enigmatic invitation to an Apple press conference has been circulated among technology experts this week, fuelling rumours that the firm is set to reveal details of the iPhone's UK launch.
Taking place at the Apple store on London's Regent Street next Tuesday, the event has been announced to the industry with the cryptic message "mum is no longer the world", resulting in feverish speculation on technology websites about the purpose of the conference.
When asked for details on the event by vnunet.com, an Apple spokesperson said: "We do not have any further information. But it will be good."
It is thought that the US company may unveil which network provider will be given the exclusive contract to carry the iPhone in the UK, with O2 currently the strong favourite to secure the deal.
However, according to Pocket-lint.co.uk there is now an iPhone 'unlocking' facility available for free online, meaning that consumers can potentially use the device on any network. The exclusive rights to the handset may have become less desirable for operators as a result.
