iPhone 4 Pricing Revealed

At WWDC, Steve Jobs unveiled the new iPhone 4. According to Apple, the newest iPhone will be available at standard prices in five countries starting June 24, and will be released to dozens more countries over the course of the summer.

You can pre-order the iPhone 4 online beginning June 15.

As with the release of the iPad and previous-generation iPhones, expect the lines to be chock-full of buyers eager to get their hands on Apple’s latest smartphone.


Now that you know when you can get one, the next question is: How much will it cost?

For new AT&T subscribers or for customers who are eligible for an upgrade, the new iPhone will cost $199 for the 16GB version and $299 for the 32GB version with a two-year contract, and will be available in white and black.

As has been the case in years past, AT&T customers who purchased the iPhone 3GS last year at launch will be eligible for the upgrade pricing on day one. AT&T is actually making the upgrade available now to anyone who can upgrade 2010 (check eligibility on AT&T’s website). Existing customers who are not eligible for upgrade pricing can still get the new phone at the unsubsidized prices of $499 and $599 respectively.

Last week, AT&T announced that it was making some changes to its smartphone data plan prices and these rates will be the default for brand new AT&T iPhone customers. Existing customers can choose to keep their current data plan/rate or they can switch to one of the new plans. Please note, tethering will only be available for customers who switch to one of the new data plans and it will be an additional $20 per month.

Of course, the U.S. isn’t the only country that has the iPhone, and iPhone 4 will be shipping to four other countries on launch day: France, Germany, United Kingdom and Japan.
