We all know that the iPhone’s underlying major problem is the price of the AT&T Plan.

Apple and AT&T have noticed this and have decided to reduce some of the costs of owning an iPhone.  iPhone 3.0 will be released in June and a new, maybe cheaper device might arrive around the same time.

Some even think that a prepaid iPhone may be released in the near future. I think this is a bit much and would detract from the overall splendor of the device itself.  I can, however, believe that along with service reductions, the iPhone itself may become cheaper as well.

Whatever they have in stock for us, I believe a cheaper iPhone will most definitely boost the market and provide more, maybe low-income individuals the ability to own this awesome phone.

   I wouldn’t say that it is the “major” underlying problem. Rather, I’d say it is half of the problem. The other half is that while you’re being gouged for service, the performance is pathetic.

   I love my iPod Touch and would be thrilled if the iPhone were on a sensibly priced with a network that provides good coverage.

   I think the major problem is that cell service as a whole is way overpriced in the U.S. Even the most basic plans are expensive, and to add the full data plans that an iPhone requires puts it out of reach of too many people.
