Vodafone has obtained a court order requiring T-Mobile to sell Apple’s iPhone without a contract plan in Germany, according to Dow Jones. T-Mobile, which is Apple’s exclusive carrier for the iPhone in Germany, has two weeks to respond to the Hamburg court’s injunction, which can be overturned by an appeals process. Vodafone was one of the frontrunners to sell the iPhone in Europe, but lost out to O2, Orange and T-Mobile in the UK, France and Germany respectively. However the carrier says its move is not motivated out of spite or by a desire to stop iPhone sales.
