Earlier this year talks between Chinese telecommunications company China Mobile and Apple stalled over apparent revenue-sharing differences.
Mr Burley said revenue sharing was unlikely to be a serious obstacle for Vodafone as iPhone users were heavy users and big spenders on data.
Last year, AT&T said much of its 41 per cent jump in profit was thanks to increases in new subscribers, mainly iPhone owners.
There has been a steady flow of iPhones parallel-imported or imported directly from the US into New Zealand since their introduction.
Jens Mueller, managing director of parallel importing company ToshComputers which specialises in Apple products, said in September his company had been selling about 80 iPhones a week.
Though he would not give current sales figures yesterday, he said the number had increased since September, then stabilised.
iPhone owners had used unauthorised methods to "unlock" the phones so they could be used on Vodafone's GSM network.
Mr Mueller said his company was selling unlocked 16 gigabyte iPhones for $979 including gst and 8 gigabyte unlocked devices for $869. Locked iPhones sell for less.
Apple should unveil the next generation iPhone next month at its Worldwide Development Conference.
