Carrier EE Onstage Apple Announcement (UK)?

[AaronG123]

The UK network EE’s CEO Marc Allera is attending the Apple Event today and twitting quite a bit; EE have always been a ‘pro’ Apple supporting network.

One of the first to support new technologies.

I may be completely wrong about this; but have a feeling EE will have a slot onstage when they talk about new iPhone mobile technologies. Either that or at least be featured as a ‘first’ supporting carrier.

It’s not unusual for Apple to partner with a 1 or 2 carriers to kick off new mobile tech. EE have been very vocal about CAT 12 as recently as yesterday also.

I think they were (by a year?) the first network to offer 4G in the U.K.

@Azzin Your right - and looks like EE are going to be first for something else too; I was right ! Take a look -

Most likely Gigabit LTE, iPhone X is rumoured to support it.

Just as I was wondering which carrier to sign with when I move to the U.K. next week.

Now I've made my choice.

Exclusive 4G for watch.

Reportedly only an extra fiver per month too for 4G when added to a contract...

Doesn’t seem like much; but when I’m paying £2 for my entire monthly contract... that’s expensive for a small amount of Watch data lol
