France is Europe’s healthiest iPhone market because the device has been sold there by multiple carriers, driving sales higher - now carriers there are slashing prices on the product, applying steep discounts against the regular price.
Bernstein Research recently claimed over 600,000 iPhones were sold during Q3 2009 in France alone by dint of this non-exclusive strategy. With that kind of saturation, carriers know it’s time for a price cut, particularly as expectation of a new model iPhone continues to grow.
With this in mind, French mobile operators Orange and SFR have reduced the price of some iPhone models.
