A friend of a friend told us this was ready to go two months ago, so it was a little surprising when the 16GB Apple iPhone didn't get a mention during Steve Job's MacWorld keynote. But all's forgiven: they're here and available right now for $500. That's twice the memory for only a hundred bucks more.
However, we still have yet to see the long-rumored 3G network iPhones, which were equally rumored to be hitting the market around March or April. Isn't it just like Apple to nickel and dime and One More Thing us like this?
Well, here's one more thing for the One More Thing; they've also bumped up the memory on the iTouch to 32GB and kept its price at $500 (if you want the touchscreen fun without the AT&T hassle). They dropped the 8GB and 16GB iTouch prices down to $299 and $399 instead, which is a nice... well, touch.
But if you want to get an extended warranty on these pricey items, you've got exactly two options: Apple and SquareTrade. The thing is, SquareTrade's 3-year warranty costs less money than Apple's 2-year plan, doesn't sacrifice a thing in terms of coverage, and is the best reviewed warranty out there. And if you want Accidental Damage coverage on your iPhone or iTouch (or both), SquareTrade is the only game in town.
You all realize, of course, that they'll spring a 32GB, 3G iPhone on us next week, right? And a 64GB iPhone the week after? And a 1.6 terabyte iPhone next year? Sigh...
