Apple 3G iPhone Launch Date Frustrates Fans, Investors (Who Sell On The News)

Henry Blodget | June 9, 2008 3:42 PM

iphone.jpgFrom Clusterstock: As expected, Apple (AAPL) announced the 3G iPhone. As expected, Apple's stock is selling off on the news.

One disappointing and unexpected piece of information is that the iPhone won't be available until July 11, perhaps as a result of the production problems reported over the weekend. Apple is largely sold out of the previous iPhone, so this will likely create a month of dead sales. It will also frustrate those who have been waiting months for it.

On a positive note, the price cut (to $199) should rapidly accelerate unit sales. The "app" portion of today's presentation also illustrates that the iPhone is well on the way to becoming a popular development platform, and, for platforms, market share is far more important than profit per unit. For the long-term, therefore, today's Apple news was good.

Sell the news indeed and RIMM is actually up 1% right now. Is there room for both AAPL and RIMM in my portfolio or should I just buy AAPL on the dip and forget RIMM?
jay said:
What aday ,,just like trading rimm ,starting to really like aapl ,, down , rocket up, big drop down,could have a nice pop in after market.
taojones said:
one month from a launch in 22 countries at he same time for a phone 30 % faster than a rim job. and you ask yourself if its time to buy?
jay said:
ah toa , rimm has 3g in the markets that offer it for 2yrs now. but hay aalp could be 220 by end of july , so it's all good.
Brian said:
The price cut to $199 will rapidly accelerate sales for those that don't realize that the monthly cost has actually jumped by $10 a month due to the more expensive data plan (versus the old iPhone).

$10 * 24 months = $240, more than enough to offset the price drop (ignoring inflation, opportunity cost, etc).
MacBooker said:
Some of us realize the monthly cost will increase by $10, but believe the extra speed of 3G is worth it, esp. as it remains unlimited. Believe it or not, people besides you can do the math.
jay said:
ya about 500 per yr. not bad considering it takes 700 to run a bb per yr. After hours trading soft but still a good day.

buy Sho Online gold (URL) said:
I have played for about two years old. I also have a better strategy which is the way of gaining Sho Online Mun.
I thought that now grasp C to exchange Sho Online gold can waste too much of time and the result also could not gain more Sho Mun.
I explain here, beat yellow, red and blue gemstones which there are not many people use these three gemstones and therefore could not exchange for the number of Sho gold.
If you move your character to a gateway, a full map will appear allowing you to buy Sho Online gold to choose a zone

But now, after watching Dan mug for 5 minutes with with the lovely Lind>say Campbell, it's time to admit that we had no idea what we ere talking about. Dan's a natural!
