The price of early adoption

iPhone prices were just cut from $600 to a cool $400 for the 8gb iPhone. That’s $100 less than the original 4gb iPhone sold for. Not sure what that means for the 4gb iPhone but regardless you can get yourself one now for a lot less that I purchased iPhones for Fusion Bay. Shoot, that’s a third iPhone right there. We could have bought our girlfriends each one! That combined with the fact that hardware unlocking methods and easy to use application installers like installer.app are popping up everywhere means adoption of this device is only going to continue upwards.

Update 9/19/07: I’ve received my $100 Apple store credit. Not sure what I’ll buy but I sure won’t complain!

  • Saw this in the paper this morning.

    Responding to a flood of emails complaining about a surprise iPhone price cut, Mr. Jobs apologized publicly and said Apple will offer a $100 credit at Apple stores to all iPhone users who paid the original price. “Our early customers trusted us, and we must live up to that trust with our actions in moments like these,” Mr. Jobs wrote in a letter posted yesterday on Apple’s Web site.
