Newsbrief: iPhone news roundup - July 9

After concern that O2’s lack of carrying the white iPhone at launch in the UK would spark a trend in the United States, the Boy Genius Report has put the myth to rest. [Link]
Rogers modifies iPhone pricing at the last minute
Many were dissatisfied about Rogers iPhone data plans, including (what appeared to be) Apple. The latest plan offers 6GB of data for $30/month. Nothing close to what AT&T offers, but much better than the previous data plan. If rumors about the low inventory hold true, however, the devices should move quickly. [Link]
O2’s website crashes because of iPhone internet traffic
It appears as if O2’s website crashed on Monday, after pre-order traffic created a jam that their servers couldn’t handle (13,000 phones per second during peak times). As a result, they’re encouraging people to arrive as early as possible on Friday. From O2 directly: “We will have significant supplies in store on the 11th but we expect demand to be very high so recommend people get in line early to be in with a chance of getting one. We will allocate stock on a first come, first served basis.” [Link]
