+ iPhones
"Come this summer, Apple is expected to dip its toe in the entry level market for its popular iPhone, according to a report by RBC Capital Markets analyst Mike Abramsky. (Credit: Apple)
Apple is expected to debut a $99 iPhone, as well as an iPhone 3G with updated performance, sometime in June or July, according to Abramsky's research note on Tuesday.
Abramsky, in his report, states:
Checks reveal further entry-level iPhone details, including launches on existing carriers June/July with a data plan, entry-level pricing and a lower subsidy. Also expected is a 3G iPhone performance upgrade (performance, features, form factor).
An entry level iPhone could increase Apple's overall iPhone unit sales by 25 percent to 69 percent and bump up its slice of the smartphone market from an estimated 12 percent to 14 percent to 19 percent, the report notes.
But it could come at a price."

So basically, they want to get more money ou of selling the iPhones and getting more profit. Okay. Man if i had $99, I would buy myself an iPhone. No, wait. Let me rephrase:
Man if my parents let me, i would buy myself an iPhone. Then my money would help them and I would have an iPhone. (Sounds like a plan.)
