It can only happen to me that four days after I buy my iPhone, Apple goes and lowers the price by 200 dollars. They have left the 4gb at 299 (exactly as I suggested) and the 8gb at 399. It's incredible how this company has so many fans, when they get milked so badly. If you are a big fan and can't wait, you pay through the nose, while if you are a casual one who waits, you get it cheap. Doesn't make sense. They deserve that I return it. Maybe I'll do just that.
UPDATE
I must learn not to post in the heat of the moment :) I went to the Apple store just to ask, and immediately they have refunded me $200, no questions asked. Everyone who bought an iPhone for the last two weeks is entitled to this refund, because if not, they could just return it and buy a new one at the new price. To avoid that, the company prefers to pay them back. Amazing service. Squeezing early adopters is still a shame though.
ANOTHER UPDATE
The guys at
engadget have opened my eyes. This price drop can only mean one thing: at Apple Expo on September 25th, the new iPhone with 3G and 16GB will be introduced on time for the Christmas season, at $599. Obvious. These past few weeks have shown there is a market for a $600 phone. And the new iPod Touch has 16GB already. No question about this one.
