The wait is finally over. The Apple iPhone Australia will be released across the continent on July 11th.

The next-generation 3G iPhone will be available across Australia on prepay plans without a contract when it is released next month, though specific pricing details have not been confirmed. The phone will feature brand new version 2.0 software, including support for Office and iWork, plus language support and parental controls. The new phone is smaller, has a better battery life and is a lot faster than the previous model, with speeds almost on par with WiFi.

The first Australian carriers of the phone, Optus and Vodafone, confirmed the handset would be available on a prepay plan. This will allow customers to buy an iPhone outright and then purchase credit, without having to sign a long term contract. Both carriers have already begun to take customer orders via iPhone online and in retail stories.

Even though Apple sold 6 million iPhones last year, the company feel the price of the previous model had put off a lot of possible customers, me included. It appears that the latest 3G model is almost half the price of the original iPhone, with the U.S. pricing at $US199 ($209.32) for the 8GB model to $US299 ($314.50) for 16GB.

The next-generation 3G Apple iPhone will be released in Australia and 21 other countries on July 11th and will eventually reach 70 countries worldwide.
