Woo New iPhone Woo | Monday, 2008 June 9 - 2:57 pm |
The short version: - 3G wireless - GPS - Improved battery - Improved audio - $199 for 8GB, $299 for 16GB - Available July 11 I think I'm most surprised by the depth of the price cut. That's half the price of the previous generation 8GB model ($399), and one-third the price of the original 8GB model ($599). Apple must be working some serious magic with volume component discounts to get the price down that quickly. Immediate question: how long will the iPhone remain AT&T-only? I'll have more WWDC commentary shortly, covering the new MobileMe service (which replaces dot.mac) and the new iPhone applications. |

Ahh, the fine print! As it turns out, the rate plan for the new iPhone will be $10 a month more than before, as AT&T is partially subsidizing the initial price of the phone. Over the course of the two-year service agreement, new iPhone owners will actually end up paying $40 more for the phone. This is a typical gimmick for other phone manufacturers; maybe Apple just decided that it's better to just play the game. |

I think apple did decide to play the game. They are also going to require registration at time of purchase. Steve-o also compromised on the movie rentals. This is the turing point. Apple has decided to make compromises they would not normally make in order to reach a wider audience. |
