3G iPhone Will Have $200-250 Price Tag?
Well tomorrow, we will have a strong picture of what 3G iPhone look like and how much will it cost, but until then, some people try to fake the new device. And some try to figure out how AAPL stocks will behave in different situations, to make some sort of a money. Last year, stocks were climbing up just before the announce, but it was just rumored, but pretty obvious. Then, on the MacWorld this year, some geniuses thought iPhone 3G will be annouced, but it didn’t and stocks felt down very fast. Now stocks of Apple are at the peak, and only hours left for big stock holders to figure out what to do, keep them, or sell them and buy out when they will fall *if they will*. Financial Times posted this recently:
The new version of the Apple iPhone is set to be sold at significantly lower prices than the existing one, in a tacit acknowledgement by the US technology company that its previous sales strategy was not sustainable. Apple has bowed to pressure from mobile phone operators and agreed they can subsidise the latest iPhone, expected to be unveiled by Steve Jobs, Apple’s chief executive, on Monday.
Nominal price of the phone is much bigger, but it will be covered up with AT&T plan prices, and this way AT&T take care of expenses to sell this phone cheaper, to make people buy it. Financial Times
P.S.: Idea is floating in my head that low iPhone prices will probably kill iPod Touch? That’s why they are giving it away with iMac to students :)
3G iPhone in Red color kinda sorta confirmed, will be thicker but thinner.
Leaked pictures, show the thing that we supposed earlier, iPhone is going to be in black and red colors. Those may be not real pics! Rumors been going around it’s going to thicker, and thinner. What I have to say, it turned out to be thicker, but the feel will be thinner, because of thinner edges, just like Motorola RAZR had, the phone itself wasn’t so thin, but it felt like it because it was trimmed with metal and thin edges. 3G iPhone has videocall camera, what a wonder. You will now be able to iChat not only with other iPhone users, but also with Windows Mobile users, using 3G or Wifi if you are able. Photo credit goes to Crunchgear.
EDIT: How cool, when the next iPhone will be about to be announced, I’ll photoshop new iPhone too, to get some clicks on my blog :)
Breaking News, Rumors Are True, 3G iPhone Will Come In Two Colors!
iPhone Black is now appearing in the model selection popdown menu on AT&T’s customer screen. Must be this one slipped just like AT&T free WiFi for iPhones last week. There is alot of mess in AT&T. Spokesperson declined to comment this. There is no other information than this screenshot, but I’m pretty sure this means iPhone will come in two colors and will be in plastic body. However, this is pretty sad that iPhone won’t come in red color, which also has been rumored by casing layouts.
