Subtraction on Multiplication [on Geek & Mild]

Jun 10th, 2008 Subtraction on Multiplication

Oh, this is just genius. Khoi points out that if he’d bought about six shares of Apple stock last year in June — instead of the then-brand-new iPhone at $599 — and sold today at the current price, he’d have enough surplus to buy a new iPhone 3G and just about break even.

But I’m with John Gruber on this one. The iPhone 3G price ($199) is not an indication of lowered technology value, it’s subsidy. And it’s Apple vigorously going after market share.

There are none (yet).
