I have two differing thoughts about this. On one hand, I see it as a tactic to make the iPhone appear more affordable for Christmas. "Wow, 400 bucks is nothing compared to 600 bucks". On the other hand, it will alienate the people who did buy an iPhone at launch (I feel bad for the guy who bought his 16 days ago). They paid $200 extra to get an iPhone 2 months in advance. That's $100 bucks a month; do you think that's worth it? Many people will This no and feel screwed over by Apple.
