iPhone 3GS Owners Now Qualify for an Early Upgrade
Update: Neither system glitch nor random promotion, my iPhone 4 arrived without issue. I’m still eagerly awaiting the announcement of the end of AT&T’s iPhone exclusivity, though, despite my “month or so” prediction.
AT&T was very generous to offer iPhone 3G owners the iPhone 4 up to six months early. So why would they now offer iPhone 3GS owners, such as myself, the same opportunity? Some of us have 11 months left on our contract.
AT&T could have been mistaken as generous with their 3G offer, but this just feels like business desperation. My wager is on a big announcement in the next month or so that other large US iPhone carriers will be offering the iPhone 4 in every corner mobile store and mall kiosk.
If this comes to pass, it’s safe to say that Microsoft will be shut out of the mobile market for another year and Google’s impressive Android numbers will wither.
