Ask HN: Why doesn't Apple...
create a Wifi-only (in other words, non-3G) iPhone? This would still be highly useful, and would likely persuade millions of cheaper folk to get iPhones.
- oubipaws 16y agoThat's an iPod Touch isn't it?
- ieatmeat 16y agoagreed on this end, especially with all the new voice solutions?
- octopus 16y agoIf you buy your iPhone directly from Apple it cames with no plan (you need to find yourself a telephony provider) and you can use the iPhone with your home Wifi. I suppose you want one for programming and you don't plan to use it as a real phone, no monthly fee for you ...
- Xuzz 16y agoThey have one: it's called the iPod touch. http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/ http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/
- kjell 16y agoThe sweet spot for me would be a normal iPhone outfitted with an iPad data plan. (You can do this now if you buy both gadgets and swap the sim. It's a lot of money though.) Have they added a real gps to the touch yet? I think that's one of the best parts of having an iPhone.
