In a press release this morning, AT&T announced plans to reduce the subsidized price of the 8GB iPhone 3GS from $99 to $49. Effective tomorrow, January 7, this offer extends to both new and existing AT&T customers who are eligible for upgrade. Though this may mark the lowest commercially available iPhone price, it does require a new 2-year agreement with the mighty Ma Bell.
While the iPhone 4 arguably offers a more enticing feature set, the 3GS makes a great first iPhone, or is an excellent choice for those who don’t need cutting edge tech and are seeking a good deal. Though the model may lack a few of the enhanced components found on the iPhone 4, it is fully capable of running iOS 4 and is an incredibly versatile smartphone. We’re an authorized AT&T retailer, so stop into either of our VT retail stores to learn more about the iPhone.
