3g iPhone is Starting To Leak Onto The Market
News of Apple’s new 3g iPhone is starting to leak onto the market and it is causing a substantial buzz; unsurprising really given the attention on the ‘old’ iPhone was pretty impressive to start with.
What is causing the most interest is rumored price cuts by AT&T when they sell the 3g iPhone to new customers. In return for an agreement for a 2 year contract AT&T will subsidize the 3g iPhone by up to $200. Obviously AT&T will make this money back within a few months through calls and data charges, but it still makes an attractive offer for thinking of making the purchase.
At a price as low as $200 the 3g iPhone will be available to a much greater cross section of society, deterred previously due to the initial outlay required, and this should give AT&T some clout to be able to pull customers from other big name carriers.
