If you were around when the first decent iPhone released (2008) you'd remember that everyone had one for $99 on AT&T, where non smartphones were still like ~$300, so I'd say you have it backwards.

Maybe you weren't old enough, or are from another country. Everybody remembers this, it was a great idea on their part as it got everyone using iPhones.

That wasn't release though...

Prices for the 2G iPhone really were that high and Apple even cut the price after a few months because it wasn't moving like expected.

Ah yeah true, re-reading not even sure why I replied like that
