In a press release yesterday, AT&T announced plans to reduce the subsidized price of the 8GB iPhone 3GS from $99 to $49. The offer, which goes into effect today, 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.
*Sorry for the terrible title pun. The Grant in question is Ulysses S. “Mr. Fifty” himself! Fellow Small Dogger Mike D. was the first to call me out on it. He writes:
“I am tempted to Polk fun at your title, but I will refrain. It is great that the iPhone is more a-Ford-able. This price is Taylor made for those on a budget. It should help Small Dog Fillmore orders for these.”
