Apple Drops iPhone 3GS price to $49
Late last week AT&T drastically lowered the price of the 8GB iPhone 3GS to $49.00. Apple has also quietly followed suit by lowering the iPhone 3GS to to $49.00, with a 3-year contract sometime over the weekend. Verizon, is widely expected to announce that it will carry a CDMA version of the iPhone tomorrow with availability on February 3rd. This is likely the reason of the price drop, but rumors of an Apple iPhone 5 or iPhone 4GS are starting to get louder as well.
Last week, AT&T made it clear that the price of the iPhone 3GS sold in Apple’s own channels, such as its retail and online stores, were determined by Apple itself, suggesting the $50 price cut was solely AT&T’s doing. At the time, Apple’s official iPhone site still offered the 8GB iPhone 3GS for $99. The current-generation iPhone 4 models still carry the same price with a two-year AT&T contract. The 16GB model sells for $199, while the high-end 32GB model has a price of $299.
