| WTF pricing from fido
so i was looking for the new iphone 3gs pricing and plans, as i came across this! http://fido.ca/web/page/portal/Fido/iphone
Can someone tell me why a new 16gb iphone is $20 cheaper than a 8gb
And a "refreshed" one is $50 cheaper!?!?!?

i know.... im thinking the reason the 16gb refurb is cheaper than the 8gb is because fido has overstock and they are discontinued anyways, there is no more 16gb 3G come june 19th.
also the other reason why i could see the 8gb still being more is because technically it would still be a current item come june 19th. the 8gb 3G will be the only current 3G model offered by apple. im not sure if apple will be changing the model number or packaging of the 8gb 3G come june 19th, as far as i know the only difference would be that new shipments would have version 3.0 firmware.

They won't!! Apple is going to be releasing new models every year just like the iPods. It's kind of a bad thing for existing clients but it's a great thing for them as a company. They are doing crazy r&d and just showcasing a product draws a huge crowd, plus it makes u want to trade in your 1 year old iPhone/iPod and get a new. Quote:

i have a 1st gen iphone that i use in the US and a 3G as my main canadian phone. i want a 3GS really bad too. mostly for the 32GB storage as i always find the need to delete my favorite albums off my 8GB to fit new tunes that i am checking out. the new features are really cool too but the only new ones over the 3G are voice control, better camera, compass (improves maps a lot!), and faster cpu with more memory. these are great upgrades but not enough for me to sign a new contract or shell out $700. if you think that the 3GS is great then imagine was apple has in store for 2010. or how about a 4G version of the iphone, video calling 64+GB storage, maybe a 1Ghz cpu and nvidia graphics???

I say next version (after 3gs I mean) will be a minor revision of the 3gs. It will be what the 3g is to the 2g.

Fido is trying to get rid of their 16GB 3G stock before the 3Gs comes....there is no 8GB 3Gs, so there's no reason to blow them out.
