The new Apple iPhone will be available for $199 to $299, with a 2-year AT&T contract.
If you don’t want to get locked into a 2-year contract with that new iPhone, it’s going to cost you—about the same as another two iPhones.
Apple recently announced a better, cheaper iPhone, coming on July 11 for $199 (8GB) to $299 (16GB). However, users will need to lock into two years to get that deal. Reuters says that the same unit will cost chatters an extra $400 if they don’t want to sign up for the long-term committement.
Sheesh. I’ve signed up for two years for a lot less. Would you be willing to pay the extra cash for an iPhone?
The new iPhone will only be available through AT&T and Apple stores—not online. Plans start at $70 a month. The no-contract plan will run month-to-month, and be available sometime after the iPhone’s July 11 release date.
if you didn’t like the service plan then why did you buy the phone. it cost $250 for an oil change in my porsche. if i was going to complain about the oil change, why would i buy the car?
So if I pay a fortune to NOT have an AT&T;contract… but I still can’t sign up with any other carrier… what did I pay the $600 for?
i did read your link and again, if the firm is charging ridiculous charges for the iphone, then the people have to weigh the pros and cons on buying 1. no different than what we have to do here in the states. the iphone is not the cheapest phone and plan available but it is the most cool phone out there. if it is worth it to you, then buy it. if you read the article, it also states its a supply and demand issue. if people are willing to pay those fees, then the guy will get what he can (look at oil prices). if the fees are cost prohibitive, then people will get another phone/device. there are options. if there is no demand for the iphone, then if they want to sell them, the prices/fees will come down. how about paying $600 then $400 for an iphone in the states. i know quite a few people that didn’t get them because of the price and lack of 3g support. they went with something else. all i was getting at that there is a choice.
You’re missing the whole point here. I’m not bitching. Copy and paste the link in my post below and see what people are angry about. I don’t like seeing people getting screwed.
