Hmm, I guess I'm looking at the wrong time frame. Do you know what sales were like from launch until they subsidized it? I remember tracking its progress from announcement through launch and until a couple years ago, and as I recall it only really took of after the subsidies. Am on a phone, so can't find a cite to back that up at the moment though. Edit: my memory is not to be trusted, but articles like this were the ones where I first heard of iPhones being subsidized by AT&T... In 2008: http://www.maclife.com/article/at_t_to_subsidize_iphone_2_0 http://www.maclife.com/article/at_t_to_subsidize_iphone_2_0 http://m.cnet.com/news/at&ts-iphone-3g-subsidy-will-cost-em/9963999 http://m.cnet.com/news/at&ts-iphone-3g-subsidy-will-cost-em/... I can't recall the original iPhone being subsidized until then.
