iPhone 2.0 Upgrade Will Backfire On Apple

Keep the iPhone you already have - here's why. I had an interesting "iPhone 3G debate" over drinks this evening with a passionate, but less than thrilled, iPhone user. I'll call him "Don". Don, like every other iPhone owner, was debating whether or not to upgrade to the new iPhone 3G or stick with the iPhone he already had. Don's verdict? Keep the current iPhone. The reason? Freedom of choice of cell phone carriers, and iPhone 2.0 software works fine on his existing iPhone.

iPhone 3G cost could be as low as $100, but not likely

Does the iPhone 3G only cost $100 to make? Not on your life. Several sites have cited an article from EETimes, which in turn cites Portelligent, an Austin-based "teardown" analysis company that believes the iPhone 3G has a bill of materials around $100. Portelligent arrives at this conclusion based on a teardown of the original iPhone plus some speculation of what chips and components are included in the latest iPhone hardware, not on an actual teardown of the iPhone 3G. However, the mere cost of the materials used, even when accurate, is still not a good indicator of the cost to produce any manufactured device—especially not one as complex as an iPhone.

8GB iPhone 3G to sell for about $215 in Japan, says carrier

The announcement that Japanese mobile carrier SoftBank would be the first to offer the iPhone 3G in Japan was surprising to many observers, mainly because SoftBank is considerably smaller than competitors NTT DoCoMo and au by KDDI. There was also the question of just how many Japanese consumers would even want the iPhone 3G. Based on a recent Reuters piece detailing SoftBank's iPhone 3G pricing, though, the carrier is hoping that the iPhone 3G will solve both problems, and is trying to keep prices a bit lower than its rivals to sweeten the deal.
