The iPhone started at $599 for 8GB and now sells for $399. The new 3G iPhone will be $199 in an effort by Apple to make it even more affordable.


July 11 will see the launch of the 3G iPhone in the largest 22 of the 70 countries.


“Just like the first iPhone, this new iPhone 3G is one of the most amazing products I’ve ever had the privilege to be associated with,” said Steve Jobs. He finishes his keynote presentation by saying, “You know, we’ve got such incredibly talented people at Apple — they put their hearts and souls into this product. I hope you can feel it. … and that’s just the start. WWDC 2008 — I think it’s going to be our best so far.”


There is a new ad to accompany the new iPhone – it’s a spy theme.
The tag line is: “Finally, the first phone to beat the iPhone… Introducing the NEW iPhone 3G.”
