Cheaper iPhones In Germany

No matter how you put it, the iPhone is still pretty expensive, especially for some markets Apple keeps in its viewfinder. Even in the Western markets, cheaper products have more chances to grab market share, especially when prices get ridiculously low, compared to only a few weeks before applying the new price tags. For example, today we have the iPhone, and Germany...


...where the local telecommunications company Deutsche Telekom AG decided to push down the prices of its Apple iPhones from $629 to an amazing $156. Now, that's what I call "price cut"! Obviously, I am sure for telecomm companies, selling iPhones is more about mid- to long-term profits, rather than just getting money for the device itself and running away with it.

Even more, this move from Deutsche Telekom AG ignited the rumors concerning the launch of the 3G iPhone, which everyone is expecting, but the date of its launch is still shrouded in mist. Last time I heard such rumors and predictions, the 3G iPhone was expected to emerge in June, but...maybe we'll get it earlier, who can tell? Steve Jobs, probably, but I am sure he won't tell us such things now...
