Best Buy is going to offer free iPhone 3GS on a new two years contract and for an eligible upgrade . It is a one day offer on friday (December 10).
Apple iPhone 3GS is currently selling for $99, but for the first time Apple 3GS is going on sale tomorrow. Best Buy has limited stocks for the iPhone 3GS 8GB version and it is trying to clear it in favour of iPhone 4. This also adds fuel to the rumour that new iPhone is to be launched from Verizon.
Steve Jobs on Friday was defiant as ever, only this time its after a long successful innings with iPhone series, Stoutly defending iPhone 4’s antenna issues, Jobs went on to demo a few rival phones which exhibit similar issues as that of iPhone.
It was silly of Mr Steve Jobs to cry foul on the media and blogs, considering the most of the success of Apple products have been based on the media frenzy. He wasn’t too happy that the antenna issue was overblown, but then isn’t iPhone itself overblown?
Well even Jobs complaining isn’t a big deal after all when you are out of options that’s what you do , but the effort Apple dedicated to finding out other phones having similar issues was the shocking part, the same could have been spent on providing a long term solution to the iPhone 4 antenna issue.
Whatever Apple announced on Friday was predicted on the very day of iPhone 4 launch, the real issue was why Apple was so slow in responding? afterall everyone knew it was hardware except for Mr Jobs. It isnt going to be easy for the Apple fan-boys if cupertino company continues this way.
