Unlocked iPhones in Germany

Vodafone recently obtained a Court order that requires T-Mobile Germany to sell Apple’s iPhone to Germans – minus a service plan. This temporary injunction requires T-Mobile to respond within a couple of weeks’ time, and Deutsche Telekom (the parent company of T-Mobile) aims to overturn the ruling by appealing. Should this injunction actually go through, we could see a potential halt of iPhone sales in Germany since both T-Mobile and Apple have come to an agreement that the iPhone can be sold only with a service plan.
