Apple's decision to drop the 8GB iPhone 3G price from $199 to $99--the 16GB version will also get a price reduction from $299 to $149--represents an unprecedented move from the Cupertino crew. A $99 iPhone is actually affordable.

Out with the old iPhone, in with the new? So it appears at the AT&T Wireless site, where a refurbished 16GB iPhone 3G is now selling for a suspiciously low $149.
