Apple iPhone 3G, lower price: $199,$299

iPhone 3G 8GB $199 and iPhone 3G 16GB $299
Apple hopes to launch the 3G iPhone in 70 countries this year. The 8GB model is available for $199, while the 16GB model for $299 and it comes in white. Apple will be launching the 3G iPhone, iPhone 3G will be available July 11 in the United States and 21 other countries for as low as $199, down from $399. When the original model was released June 29 last year, it cost $599., starting July 11th.

iPhone price slash is part of a new deal between Apple and AT&T, the iPhone's exclusive carrier in the United States. AT&T has agreed to subsidize the cost of the phone. Under the agreement, though, AT&T will no longer give Apple a share of its revenue from data-usage plans. The phone company said it expects the gadget's reduced price to fuel sales that require a two-year service contract and generate increased revenue from data-usage plans, resulting in increased earnings per share by 2010.

In an apparent effort to prevent users from "unlocking" the device so they can use it with other carriers, AT&T said the iPhone 3G can now only be purchased with an activated service plan. Previously, consumers could buy it in stores or online and activate it online later.

The new iPhone is aimed at alleviating another complaint users have made about the device: its data transmission is too slow in accessing the Web. Jobs said the 3G iPhone will be twice as fast as the current version.
