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.
