Well, if true (and no one really knows for sure) then it will put the networks' nose out of joint - I can't see the benefit for Apple here. They'd have to set up their own infrastructure and mobile network, would they? The success of the iPhone this year has been mainly down to the range of networks that now offer it - meaning that if people are locked into a particular network (through contract or location/reception) then they'll be able to use an iPhone. Which wasn't always the case when only O2 offered it over here.
I wish Apple would stick to standard SIM cards, they've already introduced a Micro-SIM and now they want another proprietary technology. This goes against Jobs' previous insistence that customers want open standards rather than proprietary, closed technology.
The mobile network business is a tough, competitive business - I hope Apple know what they're entering into here - that's if it's more than just another rumour.
