Comments on: Apple slice $200 off iPhone price http://www.mobileindustryreview.com/2007/09/apple_slice_200_off_iphone_price.html Daily news and opinion for 250,000 industry executives and mobile fanatics Tue, 14 Feb 2012 22:14:00 +0100 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Ewan http://www.mobileindustryreview.com/2007/09/apple_slice_200_off_iphone_price.html/comment-page-1#comment-101638 Ewan Thu, 06 Sep 2007 13:09:29 +0000 http://www.smstextnews.com/2007/09/apple_slice_200_off_iphone_price.html#comment-101638 There's something fishy, I agree, Ricky. I don't think of Apple in a God-like manner at all. I'm just pleased they're innovating... or, at least, doing-what-already-existed but making it work reasonably well (usually with a few annoying Applesque niggles) and forcing the other industry incumbents in the mobile industry to reexamine their performance.

This Apple is God stuff gets a little old (and not specifically from you, Ewan). The things they do that no one seems to notice, whereas if another company did it, the news would be in outcry! There was a great post on Pocket-Lint today (http://www.pocket-lint.co.uk/news/news.phtml/9988/11012/apple-innovators-or-copiers-comment.phtml) actually going over every one of the announcements and showing that Apple's not really innovating, but just taking things others have done and improving on them. However, I agree that something's fishy with this price cut. I mean, it's common business that if something is selling well, you leave the price alone. You most certainly do not drop it 30%. It doesn't make sense to me. I agree. This Apple is God stuff gets a little old (and not specifically from you, Ewan).

Mainly I suspect its to keep in range of the iPod Touch. I mean why buy an iPhone when you can get the stuff in the Touch without signing up with a specific operator for two years...
