What a difference a year makes; new carriers and new ways to buy Apple's touchscreen wunderkind.
Pricing for the eagerly awaited Apple iPhone 3GS has finally surfaced from Vodafone New Zealand with the least amount upfront being NZ$399 for the 16GB model, if you sign up for a two-year contract at NZ$130 a month on an iPhone-specific plan.
