At Apple’s World­wide Devel­oper Con­fer­ence today, Steve Jobs announced the release of the new iPhone 3G.

The iPhone will be avail­able in Aus­tralia from July 11, though no pric­ing infor­ma­tion has been released. Jobs announced during the keynote that the new USD$199 price tag [8GB] will be stan­dard­ised around the world, so I’d expect to see a price tag of around AUD$200-$250.

No word yet either on whether the phone will be locked to Optus or Voda­fone, who both announced ear­lier in the year that they would be sell­ing the iPhone in Aus­tralia. Ars Tech­nica are report­ing that AT&T, who have an exclu­siv­ity arrange­ment for the sale of the iPhone in Amer­ica will be axing the rev­enue shar­ing model set up with the orig­i­nal iPhone’s release.
