3's 4G frequency was the first and only 4G band supported by earlier iPhones, Apple used to claim it was the only one worth supporting (at the time).

My old iPhone 5 could get EE's 4G perfectly well.

EE and 3 share networks and EE happen to be the only other network that uses the same frequency band, which is why as I said, earlier iPhones only supported that band.

Does anyone know if this is going to affect an iPhone on Three network?

Should be fine, some countries use different LTE frequencies that the iPhone doesn't, thats all.

Thanks!
I worked out the cost of buying one outright, and taking a contract with a new phone (including the £99 down payment) and over the two year period it works out about £8 per month saving, plus the there's unlimited data tariffs available on SIM only but not on iPhone6 inclusive tariffs.
