AT&T Confirms Price Protection for iPhone 3GS Buyers

Jun 10, 2010, 4:15 PM by Eric M. Zeman

Apple and AT&T recently lowered the price of the iPhone 3GS 8GB to $99. Prior to June 7, the iPhone 3GS cost $199 for 16GB and $299 for $32 GB. AT&T is offering those customers who recently bought the iPhone 3GS price protection, depending on which model and when they bought it. AT&T is offering two options. The first allows iPhone 3GS owners to receive credit for the difference between what they paid and the new $99 price. AT&T says those who bought an iPhone 3GS between May 7th and May 14th will have until June 14th to get credit for the price difference. Those who purchased the iPhone 3GS May 15 or later will have the normal 30 days to get store credit. The second option will allow iPhone 3GS buyers to swap their iPhone 3GS for an iPhone 4. AT&T says that those who bought the iPhone 3GS between May 7th and May 14th will have until June 21 to pre-order the iPhone 4 at an AT&T store. The exchange will need to take place at a store, and not via mail. AT&T says that those who bought the iPhone 3GS at the new lower price points aren't eligible for the discounts or swaps, but do have the normal 30-day return policy, during which they can receive a full refund.

Price protection credit varies ($50-$100)

The 3G-S 8GB phone is brand new. Up until this month, the only 3G-S models were the 16GB and the 32GB. The 8GB model was the 3G (not "S"). So if you purchased a 3G-S recently and you are keeping that phone and want a credit, only the 32GB dropped $100 (was $299, now $199). The 16GB would only get you a $50 credit (was $199, now $149). If you exchange your device for the new 8GB 3G-S, that may require paying a 10% restocking fee at AT&T retail stores since you are returning the phone you purchased.

Just a heads up!
