Apple is now matching AT&T’s $49 price for the iPhone 3GS, a move taken quietly ahead of Tuesday’s widely-expected announcement that the carrier’s rival, Verizon, will sell the a CDMA version of the iPhone.
When AT&T made the announcement it was cutting $50 off the 3GS (however, still requiring a two-year contract), it pointedly said Apple online and retail stores would continue to set its own price for the device.
The iPhone 4 continues to carry a $199 price-tag for the 16GB version and $299 for the 32GB model, plus two-year AT&T contract.
