3G iphone on JUNE????

We've had rumors, rumors, and more rumors, but now "someone very, very close to the 3G iPhone launch" has confirmed the 3G iPhone will be released June 9th at the WWDC Keynote.

International users will have the phone within a few weeks of the US launch - not the previously rumored end of '08. Also notable, the iPhone will (at least in some countries) NOT be selling at a fixed price anymore, which means end users can get discounts based on signing contracts, adding data plans, etc. This is a good thing for those of you signing up with the Apple-sponsored carrier, but not so good news for us rebels (gotta have my T-Mo  ). No word on how the Apple stores will be handling the fixed price vs subsidization pricing, but perhaps they'll have a set price, and AT&T will offer some sort of rebate with proof of activation. That is IF Apple carries the non-standard pricing to the States.

Those of wanting to jailbreak/unlock the 3G iPhone need not worry - it looks like the launch of it will coincide with the 2.0 firmware, which hints it will be running said firmware. And 2.0 is already jailbroken/unlocked.  A 3G modem may necessitate a fix on the unlock to work, but shouldn't be a major hurdle. Mod on, good people.

They might phased out 8GB and just 16GB and maybe 32GB. Read this and see what we will be miss out as being a first gen user:

if apple release it at $199 with contract lockdown ... it will be hard to bring it to m'sia .. unless some1 here got connection with apple store in other country to get the iphone ....and even if there is such person ... smile.gif u know the price will be jacked up ... but if it's like RM2500 .. it is consider reasonable compare with other smart phone in the market ...

i'm trying to convince people in U-MObile to take the iphone because they are a new telco and if they want people to jump on their carrier .. this will be their best strategy for thsi new 3G Iphone

Dude, you sure about this? I mean about the ETF value and all? $494 is still below RM2K, that's quite a relief.
*
$494 x 3.2 (*assumption exchange rate at 3.2) = 1580 +-
previous iphone .. profit margin is about RM400-500, take in consideration that iphone was easily obtain by store purchase
current 3G Iphone ... hard to get from store ..... therefore might need insider to do the work .. that will cost money and at the end ..
you still can't get the same price for current 3G ...at say RM1900(*with same profit margin*)

A special thanks to commenter "tamade" for pointing out the obvious. Since AT&T's unlocked iPhone 3Gs will cost you $599 (8GB) or $699 (16GB), you are better off signing a contract and canceling it than buying an unlocked iPhone. In fact, it's even cheaper to buy a 16GB iPhone using this method than to buy and unlock an 8GB version. But math isn't our strong suit so go ahead and double-check our calculations. We won't be offended:

$299 - 16GB iPhone w/contract
$36 - Activation
$175 - Early Termination Fee
$70 - One month of service

Total Price Using The Shady Method: $580

So...

8GB iPhone Canceled: $480
16GB iPhone Canceled: $580
8GB iPhone Unlocked from AT&T: $599
16GB iPhone Unlocked from AT&T: $699

that only can be applied to a person in that country ... not even if they are there for holiday ..
those with contract most probably need some sort of permenant address and such before they let you sign a contract.
