Apple may cut prices of the iPhone to tackle the release of the Droid

[Zedsdead185]

Is the Droid giving Apple a pre-Christmas squeaky bum?
Apple may be planning a pre-Christmas iPhone 3GS price cut, to just 99 dollars in the US, in a bid to stay ahead of the Motorola Droid Android handset which has captured the imagination at an important time in smartphone land.

According to reports, AT&T, which holds the exclusive rights to sell the iPhone in the States, is weighing up the option, in order to stave off an unexpected bout of Motorola fever.

Sounds possible, apple have done price cuts for the iphone at this time of year before.

That article leaves out the info thegoldenmackid cited, which states this is only for a 8 GB 3GS.

I have my doubts, but we'll just have to wait and see what happens.

It would be very nice if it happens in the next 7 days.

My wife becomes eligible for a handset upgrade then, and currently the plan is to get her an 8G 3G ...

Keeping my eyes open ...

wasnt this on the main page already

how is it news

someone takes old news ( that the 3gs will be 99) and combines it with hype ( that the droid is causing apple to worry)
