How AT&T Could Boost iPhone Sales

Think of it this way. The iPhone 5 (or 4S, or whatever its going to be called) will be the top-of-the-line phone, for those that need the latest and greatest. The iPhone 4 would take the 3GS' current spot as the device for those looking for an iPhone, yet can't afford the $200 that the new model would cost.

AT&T could offer the 3GS through its own prepay channels, as well as a free device for those really tight on the pocketbook. Of course, this all depends on whether or not its true that Apple still sees life in the now two-year old device. That, according to , may be questionable.
