The news comes just three weeks after Orange proposed a merger with T-Mobile, which would make it the largest mobile network in the UK with 28 million subscribers compared to 02’s second position 22 million.
The deal, therefore, will mean that iPhone will be available to around 50 million customers in the UK, further expanding the platform's potential reach for App Store developers.
Though an availability date hasn’t yet been confirmed, Orange has already opened a website on which interested consumers can register for further news.
