Yeah so, I believe a week ago they cut down the price 200 dollars. Thus basically telling all their customers that. "we can still profit off of a 400 dollar phone, and you just got overpriced/robbed out of 200 dollars"

This is why I stick with my old nokia phone >.> It was cheap and it works, and I dont need it to do 49 thousand things..tongue.gif

Yeah I think that's so mean! and unfortunate to the poor iPhone owners who lined up outside stores for hours. The moral of this is to never rush. and just be patient. Because chances are, prices will drop soon after things like these are released

I know that Apple is at least giving $100 credit for people who bought an iPhone for $600 if they don't get something like that with AT&T... but can only be used at the Apple store/online...

Yeah I heard that but even if they gave 200 dollars back to you in pure gold apples, the 50 percent release tag is insane for any product.

What I dont like about modern technology:

They come out with a new sidekick with 3 or 4 new features slap a 500 dollar price tag and drop it by 10 or 15 percent after a month, people feed into it and buy it, and do god knows what with the "old" sidekick, wash rinse repeat.

I dont care if my phones ancient it still has the age old function of calling someone and thats all I need from a phone. But a camera wouldnt hurt tongue.gif

They're giving 100$ vouchers for those that purchased it pre-price cut. Not many people actually redeem them.

There are rich folks who wouldn't care. To them, that is like pocket change. Insane, but true.

But poor for the people who cares.

If you bought an iPhone within the last 14 days before the price drop, you can get a $200 rebate.
If you bought it before that 14-day period, you get $100 Apple store credit.

Im gonna say this again . REBATE or NOT they are showing their fans that they can drastically overprice something and get away with it.

They are only giving the money back because they are finally getting caught. vBut ever think how much money your little ipod took to make as opposed to how much ya paid for it.

Hahaha they are losing money on it. I knew that phone was all hype . Seriously so many other phones that are actually better then the Iphone. I actually hate apple products. Seriously not even good quality.

That is called business.
It doesn't seem like something that needs so much attention as it does now because every major corporation in the business industry will do it.
Corporations exist to make money.

Of course they do but to basically publicize the percentage in which you overprice the item...

I don't think they'll be cutting the price any lower than it is. Unless they released a second version.

I feel bad for those that spent $600. They could have bought the N95 instead at the same price. Shame on them.
