It seems that AT&T might be looking to prepare the new iPhone a little bit more affordable than the current iteration. Word on the streets is that AT&T could subsidize the new iPhone, and take up to $200 off the price of the unit. Many flocked to AT&T for the iPhone the first duration, subsidized or not. Fast forward to now, with new iPhone, new features, and the possibility of the device being more affordable than the last, and AT&T could see an even greater number that day around.

We of course know that the new iPhone will come in 8GB and 16GB flavors. The source says that the devices will

sell for $399 and $449, respectively. whether the devices were sold at that rumored contract price, thereupon they would sell for $199 and $249. Even at the most expensive, the new iPhone would be cheaper than the current one on that pricing scheme.

The source did not stop at that data either. They took the instance to leak a few features of the new device. All the usuals were listed. GPS, etc. One thing that was said that conflicts with our earlier reports, is the new iPhone will be 2.5mm thinner than the current one. Since their sources are not confirmed, take that at face value.
