Apple’s reality distortion field

Apple’s tag-line for the iPhone 3G is “Twice as fast. Half the price.” However, if you take a closer look at the numbers you’ll see that the new iPhone works out at $40 dearer than the current model.

Here’s the deal. An 8GB iPhone 3G costs $199. Sounds good so far. However, AT&T has added an extra $10 a month to the unlimited 3G monthly fees compared to EDGE, so over the 24 month period of the contract, that sets you back an extra $240.
