The iPhone pricing debacle

Last night, our local ABC 7 news featured my startling insights into the recent iPhone pricing uproar. When Apple dropped the price of an iPhone from $599 to $399 after only two months, even Apple’s crazed fanbase rebelled. The early adopters got labelled as “losers” (or worse) for buying too soon.

You can find the ABC7 news story and video clip here. If you’d like the whole story in higher resolution, there’s a link to a (large) movie file here.

Remember: when you do a media interview, they usually choose the juiciest soundbites…


Update: my clip went national today on Good Morning America and on the abcnews.com site. Story and video clip are available here.

The national story ran under the titilating title “$599 iPhone Buyers: Hipsters or ‘Losers’?” Where’d they get that word from?
