In completely unshocking news, AT&T may be planning to reduce the cost of the iPhone plan by $10, reportedly to boost sales. With the impending release of OS 3.0 (already on beta 5), the sole provider for Apple’s baby would probably see plenty of converts.
This latest price-cut comes after plenty of others, all of which have aimed to get more iPhones into more hands (around 17 million just last year). When the iPhone first hit, it was retailing for a massive $599 for the 8GB model. I remember laughing out loud when I saw that number and wondering how long before it would drop by several hundred. That day has come and gone, leaving the provider set to save patient consumers an extra $240 over the two year contract for the phone.
Now if only we could get Apple to drop to the BOGO offers we’re seeing for the RIM’s Storm. If only.
