The Apple iPhone will require iTunes for setup and configuration
In
only a couple of weeks, Apple, Inc. and AT&T Wireless will launch the highly
anticipated iPhone. There has been much online debate on the pros and
cons of the new mobile phone and new details on the iPhone's hardware and
software specifications continue to come to light. The newest addition is
that iPhone users will be required
to have an account with Apple's iTunes Store in order to set up and
configure their devices.
The iTunes account will be a separate account from iPhone's exclusive U.S.
distributor, AT&T Wireless Services. This strategic move comes as no
surprise as Apple is known for confining their users to its services.
Once the iPhone contract opens up to other wireless providers, Apple will have
their iTunes Store set up with customers. Also, the non-regular Apple
customers will have to subscribe to the iTunes store allowing Apple to expand
their service to new markets.
The iPhone is said to officially
launch June 29 and will have 3 million units ready for
launch day. The phone will also be AT&T exclusive for
five years.
