@NZGB33 

Tariffs are flexible so you can choose any duration from 3 months to 36 months.

You are not forced to take 36 months. 

These changes are driven due to the higher prices of handsets.

They haven't.
o2 now offer fleixble plans, so the person taking out the contract can choose the length from 18 3 months up to 36 months.

 

Correction: the minimum term is actually 3 months, not 18.

The 36 months is designed to make the £1000+ phones more affordable. The problem with that is that every year new, shinier and better (supposedly) handsets come out and there could well be a lot of buyer regret being stuck in a 36 month contract (although you are free to upgrade at any time, finances permitting)
