So how will this affect the iPhone?

I'm one of those strange iPhone owners. I've never bought on contract. I've never subsidized an iPhone and while my iPhones have been with T-mobile and on AT&T's network, they've never actually gone through AT&T because I have stayed on prepaid the last few years and used various MVNO's that are on AT&T's network.

In my opinion this is huge. The effect could be both good and bad for Apple. $45 for unlimited every on AT&T's network is a great deal. That means a lot of older Apple iPhones either getting back into the saddle again with regard to being passed on to the secondary market. However this also means the value proposition between a used iPhone on something like Straight Talk (with real 3G service) and a brand new subsidized iPhone is even larger.

What do you think?
