Starting with the launch of the iPhone 3GS in 2009, Apple began selling the previous year's model with a two-year AT&T contract in the U.S. If Verizon's deal is only for the iPhone 4, the $49 iPhone 3GS could remain an AT&T exclusive. While reports have said Verizon will offer the iPhone 4, no mention has been made of the iPhone 3GS, first released in 2009. The 16GB model sells for $199, while the high-end 32GB model has a price of $299.ĪT&T's chief rival, Verizon, is widely expected to announce on Tuesday that it will carry a CDMA version of the iPhone in just a matter of weeks. The current-generation iPhone 4 models still carry the same price with a two-year AT&T contract. At the time, Apple's official iPhone site still offered the 8GB iPhone 3GS for $99. Last week, AT&T made it clear that the price of the iPhone 3GS sold in Apple's own channels, such as its retail and online stores, were determined by Apple itself, suggesting the $50 price cut was solely AT&T's doing. The price change came quietly, without an announcement from Apple, just a few days after AT&T revealed it had reduced the price of the iPhone 3GS as well. The 8GB iPhone 3GS now costs $49, down from its original price of $99. Apple has quietly dropped the price of its entry-level 8GB iPhone 3GS to $49 with a new two-year contract with AT&T, matching the new low price that last week was offered exclusively by the carrier.
