Vodafone has lowered its upfront iPhone 4S [1] fee by up to £120, in a move that brings the provider's pre-order pricing down to the level of its competitors.

The 16GB version has been lowered to £239 on the Vodafone's most inexpensive price plan, a drop of £120. It's down £80 to £359 for the 32GB version, and a £70 shaving has taken the 64GB one down to £449.

When we update our iPhone 4S contract comparison tables [2], we see the new prices are much more competitive, although Vodafone still remains the most expensive provider. Just not by as much.

For the company's full roster of updated price-plans, have a look on Vodafone's iPhone 4S website [3]. ®
