NEw iPhone question.?

Question

With the new iPhone coming out for only 199 dollars, can we expext a price drop for the iPod Touch??

Answer 1

I really hope so. I hope they come out with a new iPod Touch this summer. I need more space but 500$ for 32GB of space!! That's crazy! They probably will even it with the price of the iPhone or maybe just a little more because the iPhone sounds like a great deal at first, but they charge 10$ more a month than the old 20$ data plan and now you have to pay 5$ to get 200 SMS messages, which used to be included in the 20$ data plan. So if you want the same features, you will be paying 15$ more a month and you also have to sign a two-year contract with At&t. They might come out with an unsubsidized (contract-free and unlocked) iPhone later but if they do, it will probably be at least 500 to 600$. Right now though, you can only buy a two-year contract which is quite a downside to some people. At&t is actually paying Apple a couple hundred dollars for each iPhone they sell so that more people will not read the fine print and think that the new iPhone is a great deal! It really isn't though. That's the reason though that At&t is paying for at least half of the actual cost of the iPhone(so you can get it for 199$) is because everyone is locked into their contract so they will make a LOT more money than they had to pay Apple for the phone. They just want to lure people in with the cheap cover price. I love the iPhone and the iPod touch but I am just trying to explain why we may or may not see a price drop. We will probably see a new line of iPods in September though. They are giving free iPod Touchs away when you buy a laptop for school (you also have the choice of an iPod Nano) and they usually do that to try and start clearing out their inventory of the old iPods so that they will have room for the new ones.
