Well done to the original OP for at least taking a chance on predicting the exact day the price reduction will occur on.
That's a joke, right? I think You are going to explode on the 24th August 2009 at approximately 3:48AM.

I for one will be upset when it drops. Not because I paid more but because more chavs will buy them and I won't feel special anymore! Boooo....
Your phone makes you feel special?
Ok
Price drops are not good enough, it, like all contract phones in the UK, should be FREE!...
No it shouldn't.
What Apple are doing is changing the industry in the favour handset manufacturers. I do not mind paying a premium to own a piece of hardware like the iPhone. I would rather pay less in the contract though.
You mean they are changing the industry to get them more ca$h... Dont forget Apple also gets something like 10% of all iPhone phone bills, too.
If this subsequently means more money for Apple (which I'm not convinced it does), then so be it. I would rather see my money go to Apple than to the networks who have not really done anything to improve their services in the last 5 years.
Will the price drop only be through o2 and CPW?
I'd rather buy it from an Apple store
Unlikely. Very Unlikely.
O2 changed some cheaper tariffs for the iPhone recently (not seen on Apple.com, but on O2.co.uk), so it's already partially cheaper.
And £100 is a heck of a lot. That would make it £169. Thats around $340. Thats $59 cheaper than in the States - this would never happen. Never. Ever.
If it does happen, it could point to stock clearence to make way for the 3G iPhone!
Don't forget if you take out a new contract on O2 and go through Quidco you also get 100 pounds back..
Making the iPhone 69 pounds
No, that's not what I mean. What I meant was actually what I said, i.e. it is a good thing that handset manufacturers are beginning to take back some control from the networks.
If this subsequently means more money for Apple (which I'm not convinced it does), then so be it. I would rather see my money go to Apple than to the networks who have not really done anything to improve their services in the last 5 years.
Also, there is no published evidence that Apple receive any proportion of individual iPhone bills. That is all speculation.
