Apple iPhone

[brian]

^Yup, that's very true. Some of them are fanboys...and girls. Hehehe. I don't own any Apple products simply because I think their products are overpriced and they have a limited user base. But I also think that Macs are better in some perspective than a PC. And their operating system is more secured than any Windows release.

[dragonballsy]

Meron na raw clone na iPhone made in China. How true?

[artvader]

must be referring to the CECT P168...

[sky_walker]

yup meron na rin dito,,, sa greenhills dual sim sya.

And to prove once more.... never buy the version 1 of any hi-tech product when they first come out:

 

 

"Early adopters sour over iPhone price cut"

 

Personally, I don't see a reason to buy the iPhone until it can be unlocked from AT&T and until it is 3G or/and HSDPA capable.

[unprettywoman]

To all iPhone customers:

 

I have received hundreds of emails from iPhone customers who are upset about Apple dropping the price of iPhone by $200 two months after it went on sale. After reading every one of these emails, I have some observations and conclusions.

 

First, I am sure that we are making the correct decision to lower the price of the 8GB iPhone from $599 to $399, and that now is the right time to do it. iPhone is a breakthrough product, and we have the chance to 'go for it' this holiday season. iPhone is so far ahead of the competition, and now it will be affordable by even more customers. It benefits both Apple and every iPhone user to get as many new customers as possible in the iPhone 'tent'. We strongly believe the $399 price will help us do just that this holiday season.

 

Second, being in technology for 30+ years I can attest to the fact that the technology road is bumpy. There is always change and improvement, and there is always someone who bought a product before a particular cutoff date and misses the new price or the new operating system or the new whatever. This is life in the technology lane. If you always wait for the next price cut or to buy the new improved model, you'll never buy any technology product because there is always something better and less expensive on the horizon. The good news is that if you buy products from companies that support them well, like Apple tries to do, you will receive years of useful and satisfying service from them even as newer models are introduced.

 

Third, even though we are making the right decision to lower the price of iPhone, and even though the technology road is bumpy, we need to do a better job taking care of our early iPhone customers as we aggressively go after new ones with a lower price. Our early customers trusted us, and we must live up to that trust with our actions in moments like these.

 

Therefore, we have decided to offer every iPhone customer who purchased an iPhone from either Apple or AT&T, and who is not receiving a rebate or any other consideration, a $100 store credit towards the purchase of any product at an Apple Retail Store or the Apple Online Store. Details are still being worked out and will be posted on Apple's website next week. Stay tuned.

 

We want to do the right thing for our valued iPhone customers. We apologize for disappointing some of you, and we are doing our best to live up to your high expectations of Apple.

Steve Jobs' letter to iPhone users

[Gideon]

The slash of 50% off $200 was a big upset for the Previos Iphone users.

 

Imaging cutting almost P9,200 (P46=$1).

 

That just got to be a big deal for people who are not that rich but still bought an Iphone.

 

But considering the features of the Iphone, TALAGA LANG DAPAT BAWASAN ANG ORIG PRICE!

papano naging 50% off yung $599 to $399?

anyway the price of a commodity does not have to always be commensurate with its features

you have to add the WOW!, exclusivity, and the "i have something you don't have" factors. that's why some sold for even more than $599 on e-bay. it's always worth it to those who shelled out whatever amount of money it cost them

Well... now there's not going to be a 'WOW - i have something that you don't have' factor anymore since everyone and their kid brothers can afford an iPhone... and judging from the number of early adopters who complained about the price drop, the effort to line up to get an early iPhone seems to be not worth it for them...

So where is the next market destination of Iphone?

 

Right now I would settle using my old desktop, old Ipod and my new mobile phone as if I have my own IPhone dismantled into major parts.

[Victor Davion]

Steve Job's annoucement of a $100 credit is like applying vaseline after the rape.

[orionpax]

WOW...naisahan kayo ng Apple doon :lol:
