is this why at&t dropped the iphone 3gs to $50 today? http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/06/atandt-selling-iphone-3gs-for-50-starting-tomorrow/ http://www.engadge

  Yes.

  I'd say no, totally unrelated, since: a) it wasn't today b) that phone is now dated and was only $99 before; $50 less isn't a big deal considering that the real price includes a 2-yr contract

    Yes, but smart phone buyers are going to enter a contract regardless. The iPhone contract is no more expensive than competing smart phones' contracts. When carriers compete on price, they're almost always competing on the price of the device itself. I mean, really, did anyone expect the iPhone to drop from $499 to $49 in three years?!

  $50 for the 3gs doesn't seem like a big deal when some carriers provide the iphone 4 for free: http://mb.softbank.jp/mb/iphone_en/price_plan/value_program/ http://mb.softbank.jp/mb/iphone_en/price_plan/value_program/
