3G iPhone Pricing to Remain at $399, $499? Launch At WWDC?
TGDaily claims (via IntoMobile.com) to have some new knowledge from "industry sources" about the upcoming 3G iPhone.
According to their sources, the 3G iPhone will indeed be introduced at Apple's World Wide Developer's Conference (WWDC) in June. The 3G iPhone is expected to retain the same price points as the existing iPhone with an 8GB model priced at $399 and a 16GB model priced at $499. While they mention some speculation about a $599 32GB model, this remains unconfirmed.
The 3G iPhone is expected to be housed in a slightly thinner enclosure, less "plasticky" design, with some accelerometer tweaks. The operating system and user interface will remain unchanged.
While TGDaily admits they have not previously been the source of many Apple rumors, they have traditionally been a good source for Intel processor and industry information. Apple's WWDC conference takes place between June 9th-13th at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, CA.

The pricing details make sense. First of all, it's rare for Apple to increase a product's price with an update, and secondly, people might be more timid to buy an iPhone after a price increase, fearing the price would be dropped within a few months.

unlikely that they will keep the 8gb model because if they can fit 32gb in the ipod touch they can do it in the iphone. but then again they could keep the 8 gb and add the 32 gb but unlikely

i don't think they can fit 32gb in the current iphone unless they change the case

i bet it will just be announced at WWDC, and not shipping. that's my guess.
i sure hope that price comes down though

A consumer product announcement at WWDC?? Doubtful.
They're going to talk about the iPhone SDK, so it's not too far off base. The iPhone is a Development platform.... it's not doubtful at all

hence they said in the aricle a changed case "slightly thinner enclousure"
I'd love to them to drop the 8GB, make 16gb $299, 32gb, $399, and then that leaves from for a 64gb some day at the top of the batting order.

I'm interested to see if they up the per-month charge. As of right now, the per-month charge is FAR cheaper than any other ATT data package offering (and pretty much any other provider, except for helio, i suppose). I assume this is because it's not 3G? Or is ATT keeping the others higher as part of a deal with apple?
