Apple iPhone 4GB for $299 | iPhone 8GB for $399

sucks to be an apple loyalist and early adopter! :rofl:
Where should people send their letter to get the $200 back from apple?
 
Agreed. How long as has it been since iPhone was released? a month?

$200 + hours of waiting.
 
I would be Royally TICKED if I had been one of the suckers...er, customers that paid full price...

Sometimes it doesn't pay to be the "first on the block"....right?
 
i just don't get why people pay more on eBay if they can get it for cheaper from Apple.com ???
 
the refurbished models on apples site are $50 cheaper!

Sucka! ;-) Seriously folks, being the first entails taking a risk. Consumers ALWAYS pay more for a new to market product, especially if the idea and innovative and new.
 
Hah! The people who bought it are a bunch of losers!

Thanks but no thanks Apple, even though I like my Mac Pro.
 
$200 in a acouple of months?? That's a ripoff... :P
I'm looking forward to it
 
According to a press release I read, the 4GB version isn't 'sold out' it's not being made anymore and they're only selling the 8GB version.
 
If you bought one in the last 2 weeks, here you go:

Did you buy an iPhone before the price drop? Remember that if you purchased it in the last two weeks from AT&T or the Apple store, you can get a refund of the price difference from the store. Your credit card company might also offer price guarantees; check with your issuer.
 
Open Letter From Steve Jobs

http://www.apple.com/hotnews/openiphoneletter/


To all iPhone customers:

I have received hundreds of emails from iPhone customers who are upset about Apple dropping the price of iPhone by $200 two months after it went on sale. After reading every one of these emails, I have some observations and conclusions.

First, I am sure that we are making the correct decision to lower the price of the 8GB iPhone from $599 to $399, and that now is the right time to do it. iPhone is a breakthrough product, and we have the chance to 'go for it' this holiday season. iPhone is so far ahead of the competition, and now it will be affordable by even more customers. It benefits both Apple and every iPhone user to get as many new customers as possible in the iPhone 'tent'. We strongly believe the $399 price will help us do just that this holiday season.

Second, being in technology for 30+ years I can attest to the fact that the technology road is bumpy. There is always change and improvement, and there is always someone who bought a product before a particular cutoff date and misses the new price or the new operating system or the new whatever. This is life in the technology lane. If you always wait for the next price cut or to buy the new improved model, you'll never buy any technology product because there is always something better and less expensive on the horizon. The good news is that if you buy products from companies that support them well, like Apple tries to do, you will receive years of useful and satisfying service from them even as newer models are introduced.

Third, even though we are making the right decision to lower the price of iPhone, and even though the technology road is bumpy, we need to do a better job taking care of our early iPhone customers as we aggressively go after new ones with a lower price. Our early customers trusted us, and we must live up to that trust with our actions in moments like these.

Therefore, we have decided to offer every iPhone customer who purchased an iPhone from either Apple or AT&T, and who is not receiving a rebate or any other consideration, a $100 store credit towards the purchase of any product at an Apple Retail Store or the Apple Online Store. Details are still being worked out and will be posted on Apple's website next week. Stay tuned.

We want to do the right thing for our valued iPhone customers. We apologize for disappointing some of you, and we are doing our best to live up to your high expectations of Apple.

Steve Jobs
Apple CEO
 
$100 credit ain't bad, but then again what are you going to use it on there since an iphone is supposed to replace everything else?

Another reason why it's stupid to run out and buy new tech stuff the minute it comes out. Alway in 4-6 months there's either a price drop or certain bugs are worked out.

once used iphones start going in the 2-300 range i might just pick one up. =)
