Apple Infuriates iPhone Early Adopters

September 5, 2007 | General | By: Mark VandeWettering

The original Apple iPhone was released on June 29th of this year.  68 days later, Apple announces that they are cutting the price by $200.

I guess we can infer from this that Apple decided the iPhones weren’t selling as well as they would like, and that the new (very good) price point will help stimulate sales.  But it’s a bitter pill to swallow for those who bought at the $600 price, with some expectation that it would be the going rate for more than sixty days.

I hope you enjoy my $200 Apple.

I continue to love my iPhone incidently.  I’d just love my $200 too.

It looks like Apple is going to try to make you happy …. a little … with a $100 Apple store credit.

I got one of the very first iphones and have been soooo very pleased with it. Seeing that iphone4 was out I am thinking of upgrading, but not with this chaos which Apple produced! It’s surprising they can be so stupid!
