iPhone price; cheaper than an iPod Touch?

Section: Apple, Apple News, Conferences, WWDC, iPod + iTunes, iPod touch, iPod, iPhone + Communications, iPhone, OriginalsAt only $199, is it more cost effective to buy an iPhone and just use it as an iPod as opposed to actually buying the more expensive iPod touch or classic? The latest iPhone has brought a significant price reduction to the iPhone, and the smartphone market. As an iPod touch owner, I’m pretty annoyed that I paid £269 (around $500) for a 16GB iPod Touch, when an iPhone fully featured with 3G and GPS with the same capacity is $299. However, this is the way technology progresses—as components and production becomes cheaper, so does the device. So, the question remains: Is the new iPhone a better deal than an iPod Touch? Yes, if you are judging purely by handset device. But the iPhone brings in an extra cost: the contract. Every month, you will have to pay AT&T, O2, or whoever your network provider is, whether you use the minutes or not. The iPod Touch has no monthly plan; once you’ve paid for it, you’ve paid for it. However, if you do end up purchasing another mobile phone on a similar price plan to the iPhone as well as an iPod Touch, you may find the costs being higher than an iPhone. If you use your phone on a regular basis, or want to take advantage of 3G data speeds wherever you are, buy the new iPhone. If you’re like me—a pay as you go customer who doesn’t need over 100 minutes a month—the iPod Touch may still be a better deal for you, especially now that it comes in 32GB.

iPhone versus iPod touch pricing: Say what?

What does it mean when a 16GB 3G iPhone costs about the same as an 8GB iPod touch? Is it the AT&T kickback economics finally coming into reality? Or are we going to see an iPod touch price drop sometime soon? Face it. The iPhone is just a better device than the iPod touch. And if you can get one cheaper? Why not. It has a built-in speaker and microphone too, assuming you can get past that activation screen. So if you have the choice between buying one or the other, the iPhone is a really sweet alternative. And if the iPod touch comes down in price? Even better.Permalink | Email this | Comments
