It's never a good idea to try an undercut the product it results in cheaper quality. Which leaves you with unsatisfied customers and a whole lot of returns & complaints. You gotta have a set standard your not going to meet everyone's price range. If this were the case we'd all be driving a cheaper Porsche & Ferrari.

Exactly. I'd love an iPhone but with my Virgin Mobile PAYG plan, I pay only $25 a month. Why would I want to spend more than three times that? I wouldn't mind shelling out $200 for a phone but see no point in paying for minutes, texts and data time that I will never use.
Perfectly said. Once on a contract, never again. I'm not subsidizing all those non-stop yappers again. Paying for actual use is the only fair thing and I'll wait for that.
Apple has never in the last decade or so said, "We don't want our products to be just for the rich." They have always marketed themselves on being a "premium brand". I wonder where they are going from here.
So you think apple almost went bankrupt by selling low MSRP/low margin Macs?
Not exactly what I remember.
most people don't care
my wife's iphone4 rarely goes above 200MB per month. almost every woman in NYC with an iphone is only using it for facebook and a few other low bandwidth apps. they don't care about games and the 300,000 other apps out there. you give them a cheap android phone with a big blue F on the main screen and they will buy it instead of an iphone
cite your data. cuz i seem to recall the past decade being FULL of cheap ipods...
This is good news for Apple. It began with their entry into their alliance with Walmart. Selling in mass does a lot to insure Apples ever growing appeal to seniors. They are perfectly suited to the Apple Eco-system.It sounds like the rhetoric has changed and Cook is basically in charge now.

i just looked at the details and with no mobile to mobile and no nights and weekend minutes it's going to cost the same or more than what i pay AT&T on my family plan now
er, then what's stopping them? *that already exists*.
there is a 200mb data plan. my gf is on it for that very reason.
