Telefónica’s O2 mobile phone business was poised on Wednesday night to clinch a deal as Apple’s exclusive network partner for iPhone in the UK, said people familiar with the matter.

O2 is set to be the first European mobile operator to reach a deal with Apple for its much-hyped iPhone. Apple is to limit iPhone’s European launch this autumn to the UK, France and Germany. It will follow elsewhere in Europe next year, when it will also launch in Asia.
