I am all for Apple extending a bigger bang for the buck to new iPhone users. Drop that price now Apple. Stay ahead of the competition where almost no one has 16GB of fast memory built into their phone. They have $100 price-cut on 16GB iPhone on the horizon; 8GB iPhone to be discontinued soon? Posted by Will on Monday, February 11th, 2008 at 1:38 am under Rumors, iPhone, Apple http://www.intomobile.com/2008/02/11...comment-171203 In true Apple form, we're hearing through the grapevine that Apple may be planning to slash prices on its iPhone handset again. This time, the price-cut will be affecting the newly released 16GB iPhone and may coincide with the discontinuation of the 8GB iPhone. If you'll recall, Apple slashed the price of the 8GB iPhone some months ago while discontinuing the 4GB iPhone, so this rumor sounds right down Apple's alley. | ||||

You're probably right. Few people would want a 8GB iPhone when there is a 16GB version. | |||

Probably they want to lower inventory before they come out with the 3G version rumored to be seen later this year... | |||

Because the bottom is dropping out of prices in Flash Memory, and Apple wants to retain market share and is passing along the savings, and clearing the decks for its 3G iPhone due out in June. http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology...pensource.olpc | |||

There's more and more content out there to quickly fill up Gigs of free space. Movies, TV shows, U-Tube, ebooks, etc. and who doesnt have a digital camera anymore, and of course there's a good camera in the iPhone. | |||

Agreed. I have an 8GB and it is plenty of room. > Buy what you need. You seasoned computer folk should all know this. We do know this.
