Making the right decision to lower the price of iPhone, It's a great gesture, in theory, but let's analyze why they did this. Apple is offering $ 100 rebate for Apple products for its earlier iPhone buyers to balance the loss due to the iPhone price drop . a $100 store credit towards the purchase of any product at an Apple Retail Store or the Apple Online Store.
We strongly believe the $399 price will help us do just that this holiday season. It benefits both Apple and every iPhone user to get as many new customers as possible in the iPhone 'tent'.
While we're poking around, what's up with the sudden price drop? What other product have you seen that dropped $200, or 1/3 of its price, only two months after it was launched? Did that product do well? Was it because the product was selling so fantastically that the manufacturer needed to drop the price? Probably not.
Taken at face value, it's a great gesture to the early adopters, without which the iPhone would have tanked at launch. But if we dig a little deeper, we find out that there's not much loss in the decision.
