Less than a week after press reports that a deal had been reached, Swisscom on Wednesday confirmed that it will be bringing Apple’s (AAPL) iPhone to Switzerland this summer.
For a country known for its discretion, Switzerland has been a hotbed of iPhone rumors lately. The one getting the most buzz was posted Tuesday on MacPrime’s Swisscom iPhone forum by a reader named dakis. Dakis provides price points, a June 20 delivery date and three colors: silver, black and white — none of which sounds quite right.
Swisscom (SWJ.F) is Switzerland’s largest mobile phone carrier, with 5.1 million mobile subscribers, and one of its biggest IT providers. Wednesday’s announcement follows a string of deals that more than triples the iPhone’s available market, according to American Technology Research analyst Shaw Wu, from 150 million to roughly 470 million.
