In an obvious move to lock some more people into 2 year contracts, AT&T dropped the iPhone price to $49 from $99. Why fret over $50 when you are talking a 2 year $500 contract, with cancellation fees of around $300. Don’t buy in, wait for the new Verizon iPhone announcement. Good times on MacRumors.com [...]

seangw — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 16:06:15 +0000

Wow – too much demand. I’m sure AT&T thought it would be popular, but did they underestimate it? I wonder what this means for Apple? Is the demand that much higher than expected? Does Apple just want me to write that, and is this just a marketing ploy? From the WSJ news alert: AT&T stopped [...]
