AT&T to sell $199 iPhone

Betting closes on Jun 04 2008

According to an anonymous source quoted by Fortune, "AT&T is preparing to subsidize $200 of the cost of a new iPhone, bringing the price down to $199 for customers who sign two-year contracts, the source says."

Obviously, this subsidy strategy would be a shot heard 'round the mobile world, and a serious threat to Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile's market share over the summer.

This is a prediction that when the new iPhone is available in the U.S. market there will be a model available for $199 after subsidies by AT&T. Also, this model has to be considered a "new" iPhone, not the "original" iPhone. Bets will be open until June 4 (the rumored release date) unless the phone is released earlier.

Note: Judgment will be made only when the new iPhone price is made available to the public by an offical statement by AT&T and/or Apple.
