Some specs for the unreleased Apple phone:-
$599 for 4GB
$649 for 8GB
True cost of the iPhone - CenterNetworks does the math!
Ever wonder what the iPhone will really cost? I decided to pull my accounting suit out of the closet (man it was dusty) and give it a shot. $599 for the device is just only the beginning. I still don't believe the average American can afford this device, no matter how great the majority of bloggers believe it is. You have to factor in things like a phone plan, data plan, text messaging plan, etc. So let's take a look at the math.
$640 Phone - $599 plus tax (~8%)
$60/mo Voice Plan - cheapest plan with unlimited nights and weekends
$40/mo MEdia Max 3000 Bundle - includes 3000 texts and unlimited MediaNet which I assume will work as the browse function on the iPhone
$8/mo Fees - lovely fees So doing the math, and looking at a year of usage on this device, the total comes to: $1,936
So what does that equate to in other items?
387 Starbucks grande drinks
2,129 McDonalds hamburgers
968 rides on the NYC Subway
A round-trip ticket to Japan from the USA
A new LCD 42" tv with enough money left over to buy all 5 seasons of 24 on DVD
A Mac Powerbook
