Same reason the current $99 is 8 GB. Apple would really prefer that you get the $199 model. That's just one more thing to convince you of that.

It is also very much history and fact that Apple has never before released more than one model of iPhone at a time. Why is it any better to ignore that history than to ignore a passing reference to a model number within a beta OS?
Because one seems more likely than the other. Random references to phones that never exist is not probable.
And I'm not saying they will release all 3 at once. We may see one in June, and 2 in the fall for the Christmas season.
It seems more likely to you, perhaps; it does not seem more likely to me. My issue is that you are stating your opinions as fact. However convinced you may be, the fact is that the existence of different model numbers is not proof that three new iPhone models will be released.
The only fact in this entire thread is that there are 3 models revealed in the code.
This entire thread is conjecture. It makes sense to extrapolate 3 models in the code into 3 models you would guess would be rolled out.
Edit: It's how we've determined past Apple models.
I was wondering the same thing. I think they meant to say this is the "Official thread for discussing 2 possible iPhone models". Took me a while to figure it out though.
I'd like to see an iPhone nano. Take an iPod nano, swap out the screen for a bigger touchscreen, sell it for $79. No apps, no wifi, just a phone + iPod.
My Razr sucks, but there are no phones out there with decent UIs that are not basic and data plan-free. I don't want to pay nor do I have a need for a data plan.
