Apple just announced the details of the 3G iPhone at the World Wide Developer’s Conference (WWDC). This new phone is just a bit thicker (.02 inches to be exact), but sports many new features ranging from the obligatory 3G high speed connections to GPS support to a ton of new features in the 2.0 software release. Starting at $199 for the 8GB version and $299 for the 16GB, the 3G iPhone is around half the cost as the old version. What they didn’t say… While these updates are truly amazing (many of the new software features will be available free to existing iPhone users*), it was interesting what they left out. For example, there was no mention of AT&T nor whether they will be charging more for the high speed data connections. Current iPhone users pay a $20 premium for unlimited data. When I visited Apple and AT&T after the announcement, the links to the existing plans were gone. I suspect that we will see the cost increase to around $35-$45/mo for the new, fast data access. I have a call into AT&T to find out the scoop. In the mean time, what do you think?
