iPhone Gets Price Cut in Germany

[Terry Olaes]

Apple slashed the price of the iPhone in Germany to 99 Euro (approx. US $155). Is this a precursor to the hot 3G rumor or just some basic business? Time will tell.

"This price cut will raise a few eyebrows, and is very interesting indeed," said Ben Wood, analyst at CCS Insight. It's interesting both because the iPhone hasn't been subsidized before, and because it could mean the launch of a new 3G capable model is getting close, according to Wood.

Anybody live in Germany and want to ship one to me?

Lol. I'll go with the 3G Rumor unless they think this price cut is going to energize the sale of iPhones in Germany and eventually Europe itself. They're not doing it for kicks after all.

Isn't this the same country that forced Apple to sell the iPhone unlocked, so they responded with a $1000 price tag?

I believe that was France actually.
Also, it seems the rumors of a 3G iPhone are big in that it will be announced at within 60 days, right around the time the 2.0 firmware hits, coincidence?
