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 Apple iPhone will require iTunes for setup and configuration
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.
