Thanks for chiming in Craig,

By your definition I'm quite happy in my delusion and would like to suggest
that you step up your research beyond "some forum somewhere".

Subject: Re: [Treo] iPhone price cut


I've stayed out of this fracas until now, but this is just silly.  No
offense intended, but anyone who believes the iPhone price reduction
is in any way due to battery concerns is seriously delusional.
Apple's only error here is that they underestimated (or
misunderestimated, if your our prez) the negative reaction by early
iPhone adopters to the price cuts.  Responding so fast with the $100
credit is impressive no matter how you slice it.  Could it have been
more?  Sure...but it didn't need to be.  That's the point:  Apple has
managerial sense that few companies have.  And again, I don't care how
many times 37 people on some forum somewhere have ranted about the
iPhone's theoretical battery life (they've been out what...75 days?
nobody has even come close to experience normal battery failure yet),
Apple's price reduction is simply (a) to cement the iPhone as the
iconic, over-the-top sensation it was destined to become (I don't want
one), and (b) because Apple can.  That's it...period.
