Bostonians Paid Too Much for iPhone

If you were one of the iPhone early adopters, reported by our friends at condoDomain back in late June, you are probably quite disgruntled by Apple slashing $200 off the price of their new gadget earlier this week. The Wall Street Journal reports today that Steve Jobs, Apple CEO, will be providing a $100 credit to “give something back” to the early adopter crowd (i.e. those who spent $599 on the higher end 8 GB iPhone).

Responding to a flood of emails complaining about a surprise iPhone price cut, Mr. Jobs apologized publicly and said Apple will offer a $100 credit at Apple stores to all iPhone users who paid the original price.

If you purchased your iPhone at the original $599 price within 14 days of Wednesday’s price cut, you are eligible to receive a $200 cash refund. Also note that Apple announced they will be discontinuing the lower end iPhone with 4 GB of memory.

Back to actual condo news later 🙂
