Fortune Fuels 3G Iphone Pricing Rumors: 8GB – $399 and 16GB $499 plus $200 Rebate For New Customers
Posted on 29 April 2008, at 5:55 pm, by Wayne Schulz
Fortune began the first semi-official speculation on what the widely anticipated 3G iPhone might cost when it makes it’s expected arrival mid-year. According to an article published today, they claim there will continue to be two iPhone models. One is the 8GB 3G version priced at $399. The other model will be the 16GB 3G priced at $499. Those customers who are new to AT&T, will be eligible to receive a $200 rebate so long as the phone is purchased at the AT&T store. No word on what provisions (if any) there will be for those within a contract who are upgrading a phone. This discounted new phone pricing probably spells the beginning of drastically lower resale prices for those looking to sell older model iPhone handsets in advance of the new model’s launch.

I really hope this is NOT true because I would like to see a 32 or even 64 GB iPhone.
I’m not sure how Apple will maneuver a phone with a camera into corporate America either. It’s my idle speculation that there should be some type of removable battery on there as well.
During last nights chat at justanotheriphoneblog — we talked about all this and more and I’m really hoping there will be more to the new model than just 3G (though 3G is welcome).

I’m sure Apple will have something up their sleeve.
My Macbook Air arrived this afternoon and it is without a doubt the most gorgeous, amazing piece of technology I’ve ever held in my hand. A screen that big and beautiful in a package that small is incredible. Apple just seems to be running circles around everybody else right now.

It’s funny because at the Justanotheriphoneblog.com chat last night most of the panelists were WM diehards who’ve at least partly converted to an iPhone and then MacBook Pros (or other Mac hardware).
For myself I never in a million years would have predicted that I would be using a Mac as my main machine. I even suggested to my hairdresser this morning that she switch to a Mac. She laughed. But I kinda wasn’t kidding..
Geez I’m becoming one of those annoying Mac people.
