First of all I think paying $600 if you have IT is ok, WE ARE NOT COMPLAINING THAT WE PAID $600 FOR OUR BELOVED IPHONES, WHAT WE ARE REALLY BITCHING ABOUT IS THAT APPLE DOESNT CONSIDER US, THEIR LOYALISTS...60+ DAYS IS TOO SOON.. WE ALL KNOW PRODUCTS GET CHEAPER OVER TIME, WHAT REALLY PISSED ME OFF IS WHEN THEY WERE INTRODUCING THE IPHONE THEY HAD THAT BS THAT ITS LIMITED QUANTITY CRAP, REMEMBER WHEN NO ONE CAN GET IT FOR DAYS AFTER THE RELEASE UNLESS U LINED UP FOR DAYS/HOURS RAIN OR SHINE? WHY PUNISH YOUR LOYAL CUSTOMERS BY DROPPING $200 OR APPLE IS TRYING TO TELL US THAT THE IPHONE IS NOT AS GREAT, AS THEY WANT US TO THINK, IT DOESNT DESERVE FOR US TO BE CRAZY/STUPID AND LINE UP FOR COUNTLESS HOURS,  SINCE THEY REALLY HAD ENOUGH QUANTITY FOR ALL OF US BESIDES THEY HAVE ENOUGH FOR EVERYONE FOR ONLY $399, EARLY ADOPTERS DONT FEEL STUPID APPLE SHOULD FEEL STUPID OF TRYING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THEIR LOYAL CUSTOMERS, AFTER THIS, DO YOU THINK PEOPLE WILL LINED UP AGAIN?? LIKE SOMEONE HERE SAID APPLE'S BRAND EQUITY WILL SUFFER!!! AND BOY I WILL PAY $6000 NOT $600, $6000 TO SEE APPLE FUTURE RELEASE OF SOME NEW CRAP WITH NO SHOW AFTER WHAT THEY HAD JUST PULLED ON US!!!</P> <p>CAROLYNHURTADO</p>]]></description>

I bought the iPhone on July 5 and was pretty upset to find out that the price was slashed so quickly.  I didn't rush to buy it because I wanted to have bragging rights.  I just didn't see any reason wait.  I don't think Apple owes me anything because I thought the phone was worth the $600.  However, I am disappointed that Apple would exploit their loyal fans so egregiously.  It might be different if this was to be expected, but until now there hasn't be a precedence of this in Apple's admittedly short history.</p>
<p>
I'm not rich or poor.  The difference between me and the next guy is that I would rather spend my money on an iPhone than on something else.  Wouldn't anyone be annoyed that a product they spent a significant amount of money on was being sold 2 months later at 2/3 the price?  </p> <p>siryn</p>]]></description>

Hah, early adopters are bitching. When they're the ones who weren't willing to wait for a price drop in the first place.  All I can say is that you get what you pay for, and good things come to those who wait. ^.^ </p>

<p>
Steve, I'm really pissed... I am a faithful early adopter, and THIS is how you repay me?! </p>
<p>
Um, I think his goal was for you to pay him the insane amount of money and you to get a product that didn't explode. Now, has your Iphone exploded? If not, what'cha bitching about?  You got your money's worth.</p> <p>bbfreak</p>]]></description>

Is this price going to last? or will it go up again once the 4gigs are sold out and season is over?<br>
I'm from south america (don't laugh -.-), and I'm traveling to the states early next year. Probably by that time the price will drop even lower, but i dunno..</p> <p>mrjinx</p>]]></description>

		    <description><![CDATA[<P>Can't say that I'm all that ticked off about the price drop - in my case, a $400 cut. That comes with the territory for being an early adopter. The huge price drop in 60+ days was surprising though. Instead of being ticked off about that, I'm not thrilled about more people having it in the near future. Remember when the RAZR was hip, expensive, and exclusive? It's no longer cool when you see a grandma using it because it's affordable. I hope the iPhone will stay cool a little longer than that.</P> <p>ImageMaker</p>]]></description>

		    <description><![CDATA[<P>Oh one other comment, I bought my blackjack for 500 bucks in april, you can get it for 100 now, roughly 5 minoths later. Am I pissed, no, I knew it was going to drop in price fairly fast. But I bought it for one reason, fast 3g internet connection over bluetooth for my laptop. Am I pissed it's 500? Yes. Am I calling samsung and bitching? Of course not, I'm not a tool... Shit happens... caveat emptor</P> <p>Not An Apple Fan Boy!</p>]]></description>

		    <description><![CDATA[<P>Man I can't read any more of this, will you all please quit whining, bragging, insulting and crowing!</P>
<P>Here's what it comes down to, you paid your money, you were excited, the price dropped. End of story, there's no evil master plan, I'm an apple hater and notn even I am willing to say this is proof iphone sales suck. Price drops like this, with no new product in the pipe, are a result of very good sales bringing down the production price per unit. The iphone has been successfull in it's niche if you believe what's being said. They killed the smartphone market (Which was small at best) and have been dipping into the exploratory cell phone buy and new cell phone buyer markets. It's a great device, shitty phone, but great device.</P>
<P>Those of you who bought the iphone first, i don't really feel for you, i mean it sucks, but it was your choice. There were reviews, artciles, people everywhere saying "I won't be one of the first because there's nothing spectacular about it". I know four people who bought iphones, and the extent of their use is to show it to me, call it the jesus phone, and call me a hater when i say I don't care if they have it or not. It was bragging rights, and you paid 200 extra for it. </P>
<P>I don't think this is a bad move by apple, they'll push out more and more iphones wiht the price drops. The touch won't affect iphone sales I don't think. Tehre are plenty of people who cannot afford a new phone at 600 or even 400 dollars. But they might be able to justify dumping their old beatup mp3 player for the touch. I even have to admit I'm VERY tempted to pick up a touch, though I dno't think I will. I know i'll love the touchscreen features, for all of a week before it loses it's wow factor for me. I bought a samsung q1 and rarely if ever use the touch features.</P>
<P>-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-</P>
<P>One last comment: </P>
<P>JRIGA: Resale value is not inherent in a device, it's not apples fault you are a fanboy and think they're the greatest things since sliced bread. Sure, you can resell a mac to someone for 80% of the original value a year later. You can sell it to a mac fan. Not to a struggling student desperate to buy a computer. They dont' keep their value because they're great machines. They keep their value because apple forces their value to stay exactly where it is. If you want last years mac, you buy it from someone who has one and is looking to upgrade... i.e. pay for 80% of their new machine by suckering someone else into their old machine. And that sucker has no choice, because he can't very well go find a discount model on sale at a store. Because apple has set their prices solidly. Jobs is brilliant, he's figured out exactly how to get his addicts to keep doling out the cash for limited improvements. </P>
<P>-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-</P>
<P>I've played with macs, pc's, amigas... I've owned em all.. a machine is a machine is a machine is a machine... the box you buy does not suddently impart special abilities on you to complete you work. It's just a tool, you use it with the skills you have. Giving a mac to an idiot is not suddenly goign to give him the ability to figure out quantum equations, create spectacular 3d and special effects. It's just a tool... stop falling in love with your tools folks...</P> <p>Not An Apple Fan Boy!</p>]]></description>

		    <description><![CDATA[<P>Man we need to get some chees to go along with this whine. I bought 4 xbox 360's @ launch and sold them each for a $200+ premium over retail and I actually had people thank me for selling them the 36 @ a premium (heck some flea-bayers were even getting $500+ profit). Yet none of them bitched at me 2 months later because the 360's were now readily available in stock @ retail price. Get over yourselves already! </P> <p>dink23</p>]]></description>

This is so damn funny, I can't stand it.  If only they introduced a HDD based iPhone or Touch, it'd have been perfect.  I also love that the pre-release marketing build up lasted 10x longer than the initial release price.  Fabulous!</p> <p>FLskydiver</p>]]></description>

This is an insult and a undeserved slap to the loyal customer of Apple. It is not about early adopter. It is about Brand Loyalty!!!</P>
<P>
For Apple, this decision is just showing that Steve Jobs does not care that you are loyal. He does not care about the customer.<BR>
Lesson learned, Loyalty does not paid nor recognized by Apple.</P>
<P>
I am in for a class action against Apple for unfair business practices against its loyal customer based. This will set precedent to other corporattion not to take its customer base for granted.</P>
<P>
If there is any users who wants to be part of this class action should make themselves known.<BR>

The other thing that I left out of my last rant is that Apple can kiss goodbye any other suggestions of  being tech's "media darling".  Who in their right mind will ever buy another Apple product within the first 100 days of it being released?!?!?!  iPhones aside, they can forget any hope of "block-long retail store lines" and media coverage on their latest and greatest.  Even if they do credit us back the $200 difference, they just bought $60M of target demographic ill will this evening.    I'm not eating catfood thanks to my early purchase - I'll live.  Hell, I can cancel my AT&amp;T service for that much (I'll bet Cingular/AT&amp;T is LOVING the cancellation calls right now)  But seriously, will anyone ever buy an Apple product at early release EVER again?   I'll be buying a new refurb Mac Book Pro in 2 months just to play it safe...</p> <p>mdamianc</p>]]></description>

<P>I just wanted to say how deeply unsatisfied I am with the new changes revolving around the iPhone. As the worst mistake Apple has ever made, you have lost thousands if not millions of customers who feel the same way as I.</P>
<P>I am writing to you because I always have had faith in Apple. Being one of the only companies that the customer can count on as friendly, reliable and always thinking of the consumer, I was shocked when I heard about the price change of $200 on the more expensive version of the brilliant iPhone.</P>
<P>As a long time Apple customer whom I recommend as the main source of products for the reasons mentioned above on various occasions when discussing electronics such as the Mac series, iPod series and the latest iPhone.</P>
<P>I love my iPhone deeply and would not give it away for anything except my friends and family. It is another marvelous idea created by Apple, and as you are so bright of a company, I am still shocked that you would lower the price of the expensive model lower than the original, lower level model.</P>
<P>In case you have not analyzed this decision fully, I would like to do so. The first million or so of the customers who bought your new product with knowledge of bugs and bumps along the way are to be defined as your most, "loyal and dedicated customers." They are the ones who spent the $550 or $650 knowing that they were the "beta" testers and knowing that the product's pricing would go down, EVENTULLY. Not a single one of those customers could have anticipated that the price would drop more than any other Apple product ($200) within the first two months of the product release.</P>
<P>As happy as I am for the customers who now have a chance to buy the cheaper and better version of the iPhone, what about all of the customers that anxiously waited for hours in front of your stores on the product release date for the iPhone? To put it in lame terms which I thought I would never associate on a company such as Apple but more so on a company such as Microsoft, you used us to get the word out about how great the phone was and then you used us and stole that $200 right out of our pockets.</P>
<P>As you must know, the other consumers like myself who were used by your company, are as outraged as I am. Those customers as I mentioned before are your most loyal customers. Because of your recent act, you have lost over %50 of them and I could make a bet that most of that percetage, used Macs as well.</P>
<P>I am writing to you not to complain, but to help you analyze the mistake you have made and to try and help you realize this mistake and give something back to the beta and loyal customers you used.</P>
<P>After calling up 1800-MYIPHONE and 1800-MYAPPLE, the associate who I was finally connected to after 45 minutes of waiting, told me that I would have to contact the Apple Retail Store I bought my phone from. Once I contacted the Walt Whitman Apple Store, I was told that only the customers who had recently bought the phone in the last 14 days were to be issued a refund. They offered me nothing except for a poor excuse of an apology.</P>
<P>The thousands of customers like me are asking you to help us by giving back something you took from us, unfairly. A refund of $150 or more or even a mere store credit would ease our pain and would keep a majority of the customers I guarantee you have lost, including myself.</P>
<P>Thank you for your time and I hope that you can find it in your hearts to help your most loyal customers who you stole from.</P>

This really blows - I could care less about an "early adopter tax", what pisses me off are 3 buddies emailing me to rub it in my face.  They are obviously friends and it is in good humor, and no - this isn't retaliation for when I bought my iPhone day one.  What stinks is Steve just made 300,000 of his best customers look like idiots with their peers.  My freaking elderly parents even called me to ask if we were getting "rebates" or something, as this was just on the news.  I happily paid the price of admission 2 months ago, I just wish I knew it was to the "I'm a Dumbs##t House".  Quick math tells me that Apple just burned up $60MM in customer goodwill...  </p> <p>mdamianc</p>]]></description>

While my request does not fit the "connectivity/interoperability", I am very disappointed. Just a few days ago I bought my iPhone and today Apple drops the price $200. Shouldn't I be able to get some sort of discount or refund. C'mon that just not fair!!! Why should anybody visit the store or buy online for the month leading up to any announcement anymore..just so we can help move the stock. NOT FAIR!!</p> <p>ineedattention</p>]]></description>

Well see, the cool thing is that even though us early adopters who bought the 4GB models, even though 4GB just isn't enough, we'll have a RARE version of the iPhone simply because they're being phased out. </p>
<p>
My iPhone is special to me just because I had to save up to buy it and well I'm glad I did. I got to get my hands on it before anyone else at my school! I had bragging rights, and really a phone is just a phone when you look at it. But the iPhone has definitely revolutionized the "smartphone".</p>
<p>
Besides my iPhone, yes the 4GB model got me an offer of over $800 USD at AnimeFest this year because the voice actor of Axel from KH2(Kingdom Hearts 2), Quinton Flynn, signed it. So If ya look at it, If I can sell this iPhone on eBay I could go out and buy 2 8GB Models If I wanted to &lt;3.</p>
<p>
Early Adopters sometimes get the coolest little "extras"!</p>

Jriga, you are an elitist who got hustled by your precious Apple. We are all laughing at you. Now go tie your precious cardigan around your neck, pick up your tennis racket and go eat a dick. </p>
<p>
Hopefully you can take that $200 and go learn some social skills and emotional intelligence and realize that we all put our pants on one leg at a time, regardless of our material gain.</p>
<p>
God, insecure elitist people like you are an embarrassment to those of us that work hard to earn our wealth. <br>

		    <description><![CDATA[<P>I totally understand that prices for cell phones drop quickly - after all, I'm from HK where there's like a new cell phone appearing in the market every week - but part of this still makes me feel that Apple's been less than "fair" with consumers.</P>
<P>When did they start selling refurbished iPhones again? Must have been what, a couple of weeks ago? What about the people who ended up paying more money for a fixed up phone than a brand new spanking one?</P>
<P>The timing is just awful. Is there any explanation other than Apple intentionally fleecing this group of customers?<BR></P></BR> <p>gutguido</p>]]></description>

It was to be expected.  The iphone was exceptionally overpriced for what it offered.  It offered no new technology, just a prettier package.  However,at the new price it will be much more competitive where it really counts....Europe and Asia.  I would say Sony Ericsson's walkman line and some lower end Nokia's are in big trouble....</P>
<P>
I would not have considered buying one before, but at this new price, it'll be much more viable when it drops here in Canada...providing they can bamboozle Rogers into offering a decent plan....</P>
<P>
As for those who bought early....yeah I'd be pissed....but you knew the value of what you were buying.  If you didnt think it was worth 600 bucks you should have waited for the price to come into line with what your were willing to pay....</P> <p>kEiThZ</p>]]></description>

For those that are biatching about $200 just stop.</p>
<p>
Either you cant afford to be in the early adopter game or your just trolling.</p>
<p>
If you play bleeding edge with Apple it hurts $$$ wise but you do get the coolist toys first.</p>
<p>
Thats what you got for $200.</p>
<p>
Plus becuase of us early adopters apple is empowered to do more and more.</p>
<p>
Lame are people bemoaning this....if $200 is a big deal get outta the gadget game....you are in for nothin but heartache.</p>

I'm repeating this post because it was my first post ever...took some time to be approved, and got lost in the mix.  But I thought everyone would want to see it:</P>
<P>
Everyone relax. I bought my iPhone 26 days ago and I love it &amp; Apple. I Knew they would do right by me so I just gave them a call.</P>
<P>
After holding about 15 mins for a rep, I politely and calmly asked if I could squeak into the price match...she said no. I pleasantly said please and noted what a faithful Apple customer I am...followed by 1 more heartfelt please. She said hold on 1 sec. She returned 2 mintues later after speaking with a supervisor and said she could give me the $200 price match! </P>
<P>
I thanked her profusely, got my confirmation #, and that's that.</P>
<P>
Call Apple, theyy will take care of the early adopters...you just have to be a bit proactive.</P>
<P>
BTW, I LOVE MY iPHONE!</P> <p>busters1</p>]]></description>

And I'll say it again for the moronic twits expressing so much glee making fun of those of us who "stupid enough" were early adopters. . .</P>
<P>
We could afford it and you obviously couldn't, hence the  bitter, resenfful and childish comments.</P>
<P>
Anyway, I could care less about $200. It's nothing compared to the $20,000 I made when I was "stupid enough" to buy aapl when it was $13.40 a share. </P>
<P>
LMAO, indeed! Suck on that.</P> <p>copyguy</p>]]></description>

@<a href="#c2320701">SFDJ</a>: You are clearly not using English as your main language and are making no sense.  I can't hold a conversation with someone having no knowledge of the subject matter and barely speaking my language.  There are 12 other definitions of the word 'Value' in the dictionary.  If yours is out of date I might suggest buying a new Mac, a Dictionary is included free with every one.  The 'fairness' of this $200 price drop is indeed what this thread is about... and certainly the reason I am responding to your insufferable droning and hatred of a product with which you have no experience.</p>
<p>
Here is value: (I even used it in sentences so you could practice your English.)  And on this note - I'm done with you.</p>
<p>
• the regard that something is held to deserve; the importance or preciousness of something : your support is of great value.<br>
• the material or monetary worth of something : prints seldom rise in value | equipment is included up to a total value of $500.<br>
• the worth of something compared to the price paid or asked for it : at $12.50 the book is a good value.<br>
• the usefulness of something considered in respect of a particular purpose : some new drugs are of great value in treating cancer.<br>
• the relative rank, importance, or power of a playing card, chess piece, etc., according to the rules of the game.<br>

This is total BS.</p>
<p>
They did not come out with a new model at all.  Imagine buying a brand new BMW M3, and then two months later they drop the price of the car for $20K wouldn't you feel a little screwed?</p>
<p>
I called Apple and they said that it was between me and the Apple store that I bought the phone from.  I called the Apple store spoke with a manager and he said he'll make the adjustment for me if I come in today.  I am only 14 days outside the return window.  If he said no I would have disputed the charge with American Express.</p>
<p>
Apple should be cautious...  All the early adopters were their best customers which they now may have lost if they don't find a way to make it right.</p> <p>ZeroG</p>]]></description>

<p>
according to Merriam-Webster...</p>
<p>
the definition of the word "VALUE" is... "1 : a "FAIR" return or equivalent in goods, services, or money for something exchanged....</p>
<p>
I doubt anyone  would consider $200 price drop in 2 months is "fair".... so PLEASE.... do not use words that you don't know the meaning of..... OK?!<br>

Man, people complain a lot.  I see it all over the internet.  Yeah, I purchased the iphone a few weeks ago thinking that it wasn't going to change price or hardware until next year.  I was wrong.  I didn't lose $200.  I was willing to spend the 6 bills.<br>
Now, by dropping the price, the iphone seems reasonable for probably 33% more people.  More people behind the iphone will create a wealth of products for it.  I hope apple starts upgrading the software now.</p>

@<a href="#c2320202">SFDJ</a>: <br>
THIS is what you don't understand - you are making my point for me.  The price fixation and control is what creates perceived value in the product line.  BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, etc.. all have a higher perceived value than Ford and Chevy - why?  Because there aren't any $10,000 rebates on a BMW.  They don't have 'Clearance Days' under tents with clowns and jugglers.  They keep their brand above that and it keeps people happily spending the extra cash to NOT have a product with such a LOW PERCEIVED value.</p>
<p>
When you drop the price drastically of something it screams to consumers "This has no value so we're selling it CHEAP!"</p>
<p>
And finally, please build any PC system you choose with MATCHING specs to any Mac you choose and you will see, as most people do now, that Macs are about the same cost (or very close to) the PC counterpart.  ESPECIALLY once you upgrade to Vista (which is necessary when comparing Macs to PCs - latest OS of both).  No cheating now.  When done... you will have an ugly plastic loud Windoze machine that needs 2 hours of 'cleaning out' right from the factory vs. a solid metal silent Mac that just works.</p>
<p>
Again, you won't fully understand this post - but it's to be expected.</p> <p>jriga</p>]]></description>

It doesnt matter that software has different pricing models... the fact that Apple lowered their price and offered all of the previous purchasers a $200 store credit means that they may do it again.  They didnt want the bad press from the few thousand Apeture early adopters, they sure as hell wouldnt want 1 million iphone owners pissed as hell.  They only difference is it will cost them a  hell of a lot more if they do it again.</P></BR> <p><a href="http://www.manifestpress.com">edcrosay</a></p>]]></description>

Those of you "laughing" just don't 'get' Apple.  And I am thankful for that... standing in line to get Apple stuff next to people like you would detract from the Apple experience.</p>
<p>
And oh, BTW, @<a href="#c2319984">SFDJ</a>: <br>
Apparently about 250,000 people are 'idiots'.  Apple fans will understand this post immediately, while people like you will simply point and try and laugh while cranking away on your Dell or your stolen copy of WinXP.</p>
<p>
You won't understand this... but I hope you never buy an Apple product - it goes back to brand image and again, to value of the product in the eyes of the market.  Apple has NO value to a consumer like you, nor do they TRY and appeal to consumers like you.  Again, apologies, you won't understand that.</p> <p>jriga</p>]]></description>

Yeah?  And the ONLY thing the iPod brought to the music player market was a better interface - but we all know how that one turned out, don't we?  Or didn't you do your 'cursory' research?  110M iPods sold, right?  So it was REASONABLE to think the iPhone would follow a similar trend.</p>
<p>
You were telling "people like me"?  Heh - funny thing about people like me, we don't really tend to listen to "people like you".  Some people walk through the rain, others just get wet.  Chuckle on that.<br>

I just said that i thought it was ridiculous to have that kind of a price drop in such a short time.<BR>
I knew that it would drop it price, why wouldn't it.  and i was fine with that happening.  But to have that happen 2 mo. and 6 days after the release is just stupid.  If it was 6 mo. i would have been fine with that, so basically that's what i told them.</P>
<P>
also FYI, apple has made ridiculous price cuts before the iPhone,<BR>
Shake was a perfect example,  it went from $3000 to $500</P></BR></BR></BR> <p>onlooker</p>]]></description>

<P>haha you nailed it! All we heard for the past 2 months from all the early adopters was how it was worth every cent they spent on it.</P>
<P>Now it's $200 less and they want their money back? </P>
<P>Classic! No buyer's remorse huh?<BR></P></BR> <p>Stitzen</p>]]></description>

Don't even try to tell me Apple product has GOOD VALUE..... their prices are so high only because of all the people who are dumb enough to pay for it. For the price of a Mac.... one can get 2 PCs that have pretty much all the same functions.... and plus lots more software choices to use on them.</p>
<p>
And why do Apple product NEVER go on sale?! Because it's "FIXED &amp; CONTROLLED" by Apple and only Apple. If any merchant dare to sell below Apple's set price.... they cut off your product supply and make you an "unauthorized" dealer which is bad to claim warranty.</p>
<p>
All the shiny Apple stores in prime locations and all the well-paid staff that smiles at you when you walk in to an Apple store.... who do you think pays for all that?!.....</p>
<p>
IT'S ALL of YOU..... Dumb Ass Apple fanboys!!</p> <p>SFDJ</p>]]></description>

Hey Early Adopters,</P>
<P>
Next time why don't you use your $600 to enroll in a freshman level marketing class.  Be sure to pay attention on the day they cover "Price Skimming Strategy".</P>
<P>
P.S.  If it makes you feel any better, you are an important part of the product development cycle.</P>

This is stupid marketing by Apple. The next time a "revolutionary" product comes out, the people who got burned by this move are going to hold off, thus REALLY depressing those initial sales numbers. Yeah, the people who bought the iPhone @ $600 could afford it, so I don't feel sorry for them, but ask yourself this: if Apple made this move because initial sales weren't good, then what is going to happen the next time they roll something out and the people who would have bought it don't because they are waiting for the $200/60 day discount? Way to fuck up your business model, Apple. </p> <p>Dave J.</p>]]></description>

		    <description><![CDATA[<p>
OK OK OK - So I've had time to reflect, visit an Apple Store, talk to the Manager, come home, reflect some more.</p>
<p>
Here is why I'm pissed on the price drop:<br>
I was duped.  Plain and simple.  Steve SOLD me hook, line, and sinker back in Jan. that the iPhone was the end-all device.  And that it was a STEAL at $600!  I did the math, I make decent money, and I love Apple so the purchase made sense to me - and to my wife.  We sat in line for 9 hours and it was genuinely a party, a worthwhile experience.</p>
<p>
I am NOT angry at the $200 price drop.  I'm angry that Apple has decided NOT to keep the VALUE in the iphone.  Because as a savvy consumer I understand the difference between buying something of value, and something that is overpriced.  I bought the iPhone because I was sold, at $600, on the VALUE.  Now today I am finding that I was wrong - it was NOT worth $600 - it was worth $400, perhaps even less.  Thus, it was overpriced and I was over-sold.</p>
<p>
I am such an Apple fan, and part of that comes from their products having VALUE over and above what the market is used to.  Some of you making comments are Windoze fans - and you are genuinely used to your products shipping with zero value and holding zero value... but for me, I get a new Mac EVERY YEAR - and the cost to me is about $250/yr to do so.  I sell the old, and buy the new.  The products keep amazing value!  They don't go on sale, or go through the price drops the rest of the market is subject to - Apple has a brand where value is TOP priority.  Thus, when you buy a $2000 iMac, a year later it's STILL an $1800 machine!</p>
<p>
In this case though... my product has been devalued by 1/3 and THAT is what I don't appreciate.  Normal depreciation is expected for anything - but this drastic reduction in this short time period is not only shitty, but it's downright DAMAGING to Apple's brand - I will definitely not have the same blinders on during "The Steve's" next keynote.</p>
<p>
As a side note, the store Manager was unable to do anything for the 2 iPhones I bought (price-wise) and they have not been given an idea of what to say to a customer or how to handle this from Apple.</p> <p>jriga</p>]]></description>

@<a href="#c2319429">pir8matt</a>: @<a href="#c2319338">autonomousgerm</a>: You're forgetting this is a cell phone. This has ALWAYS happened with cell phones. You're just not used to this from Apple because it's their first foray into the cell phone market. Just go take a look at the release prices for other "hot" phones: Razr, Treo,Q, etc... It took no time for prices to plummet (yes more than 33%). Not because they weren't selling, because the technology on cellphones has grown much faster. I paid $500 for my Treo 650 and now I could hardly get $50 for it. Apple didn't screw you over, your impatience did.<br>
If you bought it 2 weeks ago, I'd call or write. If you bought it 2 months ago, "quien te manda"</p> <p>kahri</p>]]></description>

Wow. Okay, people have obviously taken this news as an opportunity to vent their apple hatred/fandom/jealosy. iPhone's price drops and suddenly "it's what apple does to all its customers", and "Steve Jobs is a con artist". Have you people been alive long? This happens with EVERYTHING! How much was the first Treo? or Razr?(ahem..$600..cough) or even xbox 360/PS3? Hell how much did the first cd players go for? And guess what people, the price of your new HDTV is now lower! AAAAAH! Write a letter! Do something! AAaaah!</p> <p>kahri</p>]]></description>

oh, yeah, and one third thing (now, after reading a couple more of the other posts...): either the first price was VERY defensively chosen and Apple were overwhelmed by the customers' response or, just the other way round, they did not sell as much as expected and are trying to get rid of them.<br>
My money is on the second option. It just doesn't make sense otherwise. Somebody is getting wet feet. I mean, sure, they are no fools at Apple, they could have figured out that there would have been an uproar of the early adopters and they still went ahead with it? Wet feet, I'd say. Panic, more likely. Maybe there will be a nasty surprise at the next quarterly numbers? Or maybe my middle name is Cassandra...</p> <p>yogibimbi</p>]]></description>

It's true that we as consumers have to do our due diligence. But there is only so much consumers can do at the same time. That's why there are so many laws that protect consumers from certain  business practices. How about apple just cut the price one week after this price cut then? Then we can laugh at everyone who bought it, not expecting a price cut to happen a week later?</p> <p>crapola5</p>]]></description>

If you haven't switched to a Mac by now, you are NOT one of their most fervent and excited customers.</p>
<p>
It is unreal to me that people are bitching about this. "Waa. I don't like Apple anymore, they lowered their prices, boo hoo." When you buy a product, you are making a choice. No one made you do it. It was worth it to you at that price.</p>

oh please, stop with the damn gloating. Sure early-adopters should expect price drops, but in 2 months? By $200? This has NEVER been done before by Apple - like someone else said, price drops are generally $50 or so coupled with a new feature.... and it happens every six months. This drop is just ridiculous when you consider how large it is and in how short a time frame. Talk all you want about us knowing what we were getting into, but this is not a smart decision by apple, it never is a good idea to anger your customer base.</p>
<p>
So please, stop with the "you should have expected this" comments. Sure we all expected price drops, but not of this magnitude and this quickly. It really is a cheap shot, and although we might have to just take it this time, everyone will be thinking twice before buying their next product.</p> <p>crapola5</p>]]></description>

This price drop is reeeeally strange. And puts the iPhone too close to the little touch to justify the difference in features. I mean, for 100 bucks more you get a cellular phone, a camera, bluetooth and a couple of other things I am sure forgetting? Somebody screwed up that price drop. 100 would have been explainable to all those people who already put down 599 for the big iPhone and the 200 difference to the little touch would have made a lot more sense.</p>
<p>
So, what does that mean?</p>
<p>
Well, that looks like two things to me. First: Somebody is trying to clean up inventory. Fast.<br>
Second: The 4GB model always seemed like more of an afterthought to me. Like they had still all those 4 gig modules lying around and wanted to get rid of them.</p>
<p>
So, prepare for new iPhones before x-mas, I'd say. You heard it here first;-) Unless some of the other 155 commenters that came before (and I was too bloody lazy to read) mentioned it....</p> <p>yogibimbi</p>]]></description>

To tell the truth, I expected a price drop eventually, but not this soon. I got bit, but I'm not going to cry over it. No, I'm not rich, but when buying electronics, this is what will happen. At the same time, I don't think this could've been expected by anyone -- not this soon. To my knowledge, the most Apple has lowered their prices is by $100, and I think that was at least one year later.</P>
<P>
I suspect they will be introducing a 16 GB iPhone soon, which will have a $500 price tag, and the 8 GB will take the lower status. So it's not entirely a $200 price-drop, but also the eventual introduction of a new product.</P>
<P>
I also think Apple didn't want to drive away potential iPhone buyers (they will still make more money from these) away by having the iPods substantially lower cost. The main reason I can see right now to go with the iPod is if you absolutely don't want to use AT&amp;T as a company. Which I know includes plenty of people.</P> <p>abes2</p>]]></description>

I purchased a refurbished 8GB iPhone on 23rd August for $499. Now the refurbished is $349. So, I called the apple sales support and got the $150 refunded to my account :)</p>
<p>
Though I was initially pissed-off by the $200 price drop. I'm a lil OK now with the refund. Though I would have purchased a new iPhone for a $399 price.</p> <p>serious_sam</p>]]></description>

Everyone relax.  I bought my iPhone 26 days ago and I love it &amp; Apple.  I Knew they would do right by me so I just gave them a call.</P>
<P>
After holding about 15 mins for a rep, I politely and calmly asked if I could squeak into the price match...she said no.  I pleasantly said please and noted what a faithful Apple customer I am...followed by 1 more heartfelt please.  She said hold on 1 sec.  She returned 2 mintues later after speaking with a supervisor and said she could give me the $200 price match! </P>
<P>
I thanked her profusely, got my confirmation #, and that's that.</P>
<P>
Call Apple, theyy will take care of the early adopters...you just have to be a bit proactive.</P>
<P>
BTW, I LOVE MY iPHONE! </P> <p>busters1</p>]]></description>

Honestly, you should KNOW when you buy it, the price will drop.  And with something like this, where demand was so huge, it makes absolute sense for Apple to have done this, because it's fairly obvious that most of the people who would've bought it for $599 bought it ASAP.  After all, who'd pay $599 for it today (assuming the price didn't drop)?  Not many...</p> <p>rentahero1</p>]]></description>

@SIDV<br>
Clearly firemillen2 is not a dolt.<br>
After the initial fanboy rush, have you heard of any  iPhone shortages to keep up with demand?!</p>
<p>
I had a hunch that CNET article was suspicious.<br>
If the demand remained high like we have seen with the Nintendo Wii, then the price would not have been dropped today, let alone by so much. Bottom line: it wasn't selling and Apple needed to do this now to help their 3Q results. That's when shareholders expect to hear an update figure for iPhone sales.</p>
<p>
If Jobs is lucky, he will sell enough in the next 25 days so that the public will never really know  how much of a failure the iPhone has been (in terms of sales expectations) thus far ... but he doesn't deserve it for ripping off his best supporters.</p>

I bought an iPhone on the first day. Loved it then, and still loving it now. I have no regrets, none whatsoever. It was easily worth $600 when it came out, and at $399 it's a steal. I don't feel "shafted" or "betrayed" as this is the best smartphone I've ever used. I was prepared to pay $600 two months ago, so why should I feel any different now. My wife, who has been pretty critical of some of my purchases in the past, had this to say about the iPhone: "It's worth every penny!" Enough said. </p> <p>bluewes</p>]]></description>

I don't understand why people who already bought it feel bad...  You wanted to be among the first to buy an iPhone so you could brag about it and show it off to your friends... PLUS, you knew the initial price would drop soon, but yet you still made the purchase...  I think you got your money's worth... so stop complaining!!</p> <p>SBM_from_LA</p>]]></description>

Steve said he wanted to sell 10 million units at the iphone key note and with new launches for phones like the RAZR 2 V9 that rival the trendiness factor of iphone and existing premium phones like the N95 (US) that arguably beat them on features they needed to do something drastic to help them gain market share.</p> <p>GBMassAve</p>]]></description>

Well, i'm not anymore... but I was when I was saving for it and bought it.  It was my graduation present to myself, since my parents kicked me off the family plan after graduation.</P>
<P>
And yeah I learned from my mistake.  Even though this was an unprecedented drop for Apple.  There was no way I could have known that they would drop it so much so soon.  But sure, i learned to not listen to fucktards like you.<BR>
Yeah, I'll live without the $200, but I'm still pissed.</P></BR></BR> <p><a href="http://www.manifestpress.com">edcrosay</a></p>]]></description>

This is the best news EVER!!! I purchased an iPhone for 600 and have no remorse. I feel everyone should have an awesome piece of equipment like this! I recently lost my iPhone on Sunday night and was devastated, but makes it just a little easier on me since I now only have to pay 399 for my new one, THANK YOU STEVE!!! YOU ROCK! </p> <p>rodarte</p>]]></description>

When I bought aperture in Dec. of 2005, paying $499 for it was a stretch even tho I was a professional photographer (their exact demographic), running a studio is costly, so this was a huge investment for me. To find that the software was really poorly done in it's first version was a shock! The update helped but then apple dropped the price to $299. I felt the same way I do right now...until i got the notice that they would be giving us all "early adopters" an apple store credit for the full $200.</P>
<P>
I felt much better and spent it on much needed goods.</P>
<P>
I bought the 4gb coz it was all I could afford, or get myself to spend at the time. I hope they will also offer us some compensation. Come on, 69 days is just too soon. End of october? I could have felt a little better about it then. I just bought my iPhone 2 weeks today.</P> <p>pontmercy</p>]]></description>

@edcrosay:  If you really are a fund-strapped college student, you should have been smart enough to have your priorities straight.</p>
<p>
Deal with your mistakes.  Even better, do something you are supposed to do as a college student, and LEARN from your mistakes.</p>
<p>
Maybe now people will start realizing what I've known for so long,</p>
<p>
that Steve Jobs is nothing more than a con-artist, and that everyone that goes around screaming "APPLE!!APPLE!!! GAH GAH!!!"  needs to take his D out of their mouth.</p> <p>Mclarenlover69</p>]]></description>

Apple announced the iPhone a year before release. I wanted a phone that did what the other phones claimed to do, but does it better. I saved extra cash for a year (not all Apple fanboys are rich, and some still have G4 desktops). I didn't even have all the money until 3 weeks after its release. Finally I bought it and was happy. That is, until this little hazing ritual Apple decided to put me through.</P>
<P>
So yeah, obviously I deserve to lose that $200, 2 months after the product was released. I completely understand your logic.</P> <p>arlocita</p>]]></description>

I was holding off on buying an iPhone for exactly this reason. Honestly, I don't see what the crying is about. It's not like any consumer electronics can be considered an _investment_- the value of consumer electronics is the only thing that goes down faster than Paris Hilton.</p>
<p>
You saw the $600 price tag and felt that $600 was a fair price for an awesome phone. I certainly felt it was- but I also knew that I could wait a few months and get it for a lot less.</p>
<p>
Maybe now I will.</p> <p><a href="http://geekmatters.com">t3knomanser</a></p>]]></description>

You have no right to be angry.  Every single Cell phone ever has debuted at one price and slowly trickled down to a cheaper price, see the RAZR which was several hundred dollars and now comes free with an oil change.  If you didn't expect this to happen eventually then you are terribly misinformed.</p> <p>badle</p>]]></description>

@<a href="#c2317639">auroragb</a>: you cant. Nothing Apple did would warrant one. Im sure some people will try to start one up but its going to be tossed out as fast as your 600 dollars was by you.</p>
<p>
What I find amazing is all you assholes think this is a surprise. The Q dropped 300 dollars within 3 months of it's release. Hell the original RAZR dropped like 250 within months. No one flipped out about that.</p>
<p>
Suck it up early adopters... EVERYONE told you this was going to happen.</p> <p>Falconfire</p>]]></description>

<P>Honestly, what the hell do you care what other people pay for things? This tone of "I got cheated! jobs is an asshole" is just silly! you didn't LOSE $200, or $400... you lost $600. and you got a phone. So WHAT if they don't normally drop prices so soon? what difference does it make?</P>
<P>All i heard from people when it came out originally was OMG, $600! that's gay! jobs is an asshole!</P>
<P>and then everybody bought em.</P>
<P>and then they drop the price, and everyone who bought one says OMG a $200 price drop? But i just bought that same GAY $600 phone that i told everyone was too expensive in the first place to be worth it, and now they''ve gone and dropped the price, they've gone and done exactly what i wanted them to do in the beginnning, and somehow im fucking mad about THAT too!</P></BR> <p>nutbastard</p>]]></description>

hum...it a stratgy that the first 100,000 purchasers would get the word out and dropping the price will prevent those iPhone copycats from getting the upper edge in pricing; when at the same time there will be a increase sale for the 500,000 of purchasers. </P> <p>trailingedge</p>]]></description>

At least they didn't announce iPhone 2.0 with 5mp camera, 32 gigs of flash, and 3.5g for $600.</p> <p>thecompkid</p>]]></description>
