The thing to keep in mind is that you may not use a lot of memory per month on the 3G or 3GS but the new iPhone 4 has more to offer that can easily use up a lot of memory, for example: NetFlix (which understandably most people will be on wifi. But what if you’re not? What if you’re in your car waiting for someone, something, or on a road trip and want to kck back and watch a movie?), Video Conferencing! How much memory will that take up? Because that is definitely not using your anytime minutes! Those are only two seperate uses that can easily go over 2 GB per month, now tack-on YouTube, Web Browsing, Apps that access the internet, the new iAds, that will definitely be on free apps that will also take up quite a bit of memory. And in regards to AT&T’s “reasoning” for their limited media package is not to make it more affordable for customers who were excluded from being able to own an iPhone, but a smoke screen to charge people more money ($10/ 1 GB you go over your plan per month). They want to try and make a positive spin on a negative thing they’re doing which is making more money off of everybody. Just like when the 3G came out they lowered the cost of the iPhone because of the parts used but AT&T capitilized on that by upping the media package cost which in the long run made way more money than a more expensive iPhone would cost. Now I know they’re a huge corporation and they just trying to make more money even through these hard times, but their poor explanation for it is deceitful for the average person who doesn’t understand what they’re doing. Ultimately I do not think this new media package will gain anymore new customer percentages than every year a new iPhone comes out. It will just be the ones who currenty have one upgrading and who have the means to cover any overages or people who will never use the iPhone every month to its full potential. Overall Apple will be effected especially since I’ve seen a lot of comparable phones recently coming out with better plans with other companies. I almost would rather stick with my current iPhone or go to another company and get another comparable SmartPhone.
