Spanish iPhone hopefuls, get your wallets ready.

According to the terms of the deal, Movistar will receive an exclusive on the coveted iPhone for a period of about three to six months, after which other carriers — including major competitor Orange, who also operate in Spain — will get their crack at a piece of the Apple empanada.
