Softbank Mobile to release Apple’s new iPhone on June 26 in Japan

Softbank Mobile Corp. said Tuesday it will start selling the iPhone 3GS on June 26 in Japan, a new version of Apple Inc.’s smartphone that boasts faster performance than the current version.

The iPhone 3GS, better capable of shooting and editing video, sells at 23,040 yen for its 16 gigabyte model and 34,560 yen for a 32GB model, Softbank Mobile, a phone unit of Softbank Corp., said.

In a bid to boost sales of the smartphone, Softbank Mobile has already launched a price-cutting campaign that runs through the end of September. Under the 24-month installment plan, new subscribers will pay 480 yen for the 16GB model and 960 yen for the 32GB model a month, a discount from the regular 960 yen and 1,440 yen, respectively.
