Susie Ochs — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 17:00:16 +0000

Steve Jobs Explains Absence of Wallpaper on iPhone 3G under iOS 4

J.R. Bookwalter — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 12:56:09 +0000

Seems hard to believe that the iPhone 3G, the belle of the ball only two short years ago, is getting a half-hearted iOS 4 update this time around. Among the missing features are multitasking (and the screen lock that goes with the menu for same) and Bl...

Rumor: Apple No Longer Shipping iPhone 3G To AT&T Stores

Matthew Tilmann — Tue, 25 May 2010 00:41:35 +0000

We're only a mere two weeks away from Apple's annual developer event, the Worldwide Developers Conference, and the latest rumor on the docket is that Apple is no longer shipping the 8GB version of the iPhone 3G to AT&T stores, according to AppleInsider.

Boy Genius Report made mention today that Apple is no longer submitting the device to AT&T stores. Additionally, new orders for the unit are not being accepted either.

"Could this mean we might see the iPhone 3GS drop to $99 and make way for a new model? Or maybe the 3GS would disappear altogether? We're not sure," the BGR report said, "but we're about to find out."

Katy Huberty of Morgan Stanley mentioned today that she thinks Apple will be able to grab a $50 decline in average hardware selling prices by reducing the iPhone 3GS to $99. Huberty claimed that iPhone component costs have dropped 10 percent to 20 percent annually, which then would give Apple the capability to bring down the cost of the 3GS without even affecting any gross margins.

It should be noted that the average selling price of the iPhone with carrier subsidy included has been over $600 consistently.

Third-gen iPod touch and iPhone 3GS Users Are In The Clear for iPhone OS 4.0 Update

Florence Ion — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 20:05:00 +0000

Third-generation iPod touch and 3GS iPhone users, the iPhone OS 4.0 update will apply entirely for your mobile devices, though we're still unsure if iPod touch users will have to pay the 10$ upgrade fee. Users that are still holding on to their 3G and Second-gen iPod touches, however, will get the update sans multitasking, and perhaps a couple of other features, too. iPad users could be getting the update for free, but there's currently no official confirmation.

And as for any antique, 2G iPhones out there, we're still unsure if the iPhone OS 4.0 update will affect any of those users at all.

Gene Munster Predicts Ginormous iPhone Sales Numbers

Arvind Srinivasan — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 03:55:58 +0000

Either Gene Munster, senior Piper Jaffray analyst, has an insider at Apple, sees the glass as overflowing instead of half empty, or just really believes in Steve Jobs, because his predictions always tend to be on the, well, optimistic side. And that would be the understatement of the year. His latest report predicts that Apple will sell 7 million phones during Q3 09.

Well, to be fair, our reaction may just be a case of sticker shock: the 3GS has been doing incredibly well (take that, you who says we’re in a recession), and even though we had the urge to put a pinky to our mouths when we heard 7 million, Apple sold 5.2 million and 6.8 million handsets in the last quarter and Q4 08, respectively, so it would be a semi-natural increase; it’s not like he said the Palm Pre was going to sell 7 million units next quarter. However, if Apple managed to meet these numbers, they would be beating last year’s holiday sales, meaning that this year’s holiday sales should be nothing short of epic.

It then goes without saying that Munster recommends you buy Apple stock.
