Orange, Apple Grow More iPhone Deals

Orange, which is already the exclusive iPhone provider in France, has inked a deal with Apple to offer the iPhone in more than 10 other markets.

Pocket-lint reports that, by the end of the year, Orange customers in Austria, Belgium, the Dominican Republic, Egypt, Jordan, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Switzerland and Africa will be able to buy an iPhone.

The agreement adds Switzerland to the growing list of areas where Apple is abandoning its single-operator model. Swisscom has also been granted rights to offer the iPhone in Switzerland, which joins Italy, Singapore, India and the Philippines in having more than one carrier offering the iPhone.
