I half wonder if maybe this whole ‘we dropped it 200 bucks, so what?’ followed quickly by ‘oh! you’re such loyal fans, here’s a store credit’ isn’t really just a PR stunt.

Apple is notorious for stuff like that.

Truth is, the die-hard Apple core (no pun intended) would get over this, and would STILL be early adopters.

But giving this credit, it makes Steve Jobs look like a prince. Very clever.

Not that that will stop me from nabbing my 200 bucks in credits. :)

Those of you who feel REALLY violated: welcome to the world of Early Adoption, Apple-style.

Maybe parts are cheaper for them now or they cut a deal with the manufacturer that allows them to do so. Now that it's been shown that iPhone can deliver, and competition is close behind, big price cuts help the consumer overall. Yeah, you paid more, but next time you might be paying even less than $400 for an iPhone that's better than what's out right now.</p> bobrsta, it could also mean that they found a better way (more affordable way) to produce the iPhone.

Don't you understand the mathematics of Apple's goals to sell 10 million iPhones? There was no way they were going to meet that quota with the current price in the time they wanted to. You accepted the inevitable fact that you were going to pay more than later adopters when you bought it when it came out so what does it matter to you that it was so soon? Had it been 6 months from June 29th it would have made it so much better? You still paid $200 more than those people. You got the product you wanted and you love it and you love the company.

I just called them and, after waiting on hold for about 15 minutes, the person on the other end quickly and painlessly credited my credit card $400 + tax. I believe as long as you purchased them within the past 14 days, they will do this for you.</p> FYI- I purchased 2 iPhones on 8/25th from the Apple Store online.
