Leaked AT&T Document Answers Crucial iPhone Questions

by

Engadget Mobile has leaked an AT&T document revealing answers to some of the questions we’ve been asking about the iPhone.

According to the documents, the iPhone is still on schedule for a June launch. The phone will be priced at $499/$599 with no rebates or subsidies “at this time.” And if you’re out of contract, say in May, AT&T will allow you to sign up for another two years with the iPhone even before the phone arrives in stores — that is, Cingular & Apple stores only.

The document also said iPhone users will have access to Cingular’s MyAccount on the phone as well as via iTunes.

Well, thanks to Andrew Kantor, I realize the survey results are not as big a deal as I thought.

Monday’s survey showed 25% of high school students were willing to pay iPhone’s premium price. What I left out was that that figure has dropped dramatically since last year, when 74 percent of students said they would buy a cell phone/iPod combo.

Survey: High Schoolers Willing to Spend $$$ on iPhone

by

In a Piper Jaffray survey of about 500 high school students in 11 schools around the U.S., 85 percent of teens said they were already aware of the iPhone.

Of those, 25 percent said they’d be willing to spend at the $500 entry point for Apple’s upcoming mobile phone.

Further, the study found that 82 percent of students who own a portable media player own an iPod. Sony comes in second with a distant 4 percent of students.

“Among high school students, it is clear that Apple is successfully carrying its brand from the media player market into the mobile phone space,” said senior analyst Gene Munster.
