3G iPhone to be discounted to $199 by AT&T?

By in Uncategorized on April 29th, 2008

According to Fortune, AT&T will subsidize the cost of the new, 3G iPhone by as much as $200, bringing the price within the $199 range. Apparently, a “person familiar with the strategy” claims that the provider will create that bargain bonanza for customers signing new, two-year contracts. Of course, the author of the story plus says that the new phones will be available in “8-gigabit-memory and… 16-gigabit-memory” versions (for $399 and $499, respectively), so take

that as you like. In addition to these discounts, the source says the new iPhone will be 2.5mm thinner than the previous iteration, although we understand that right after telling Fortune that knowledge, the “person” burst into a cloud of rainbow-colored sparkles and went flying off into the night sky.
