Vodafone has announced it will sell Apple’s iPhone in Australia later this year.

The carrier would not say whether the agreement signed between it and Apple was exclusive, however, it is understood Telstra and Optus will also offer the device.

Optus, Apple and Telstra declined to comment.

Already, thousands of Australians have imported iPhones from the US and hacked them to run on local mobile networks.

A concrete date for the local iPhone launch has yet to be announced, however, it is likely to coincide with the opening of the official Apple store in the Sydney CBD around June.

Mark Novosel, telecommunications market analyst at IDC, said the fact that Vodafone hasn’t announced whether the deal is exclusive indicates the iPhone will be sold by all carriers.
