Apple Rolls Out New iPhone, Drops Prices

Apple Inc. on Monday introduced a new iPhone that

will be available this month and dropped the price of

its least-expensive model to $99, as it looks to

maintain the momentum for its popular smart

phone.

The news was revealed during a presentation by

Apple executives at an annual conference for Apple

software developers. Chief Executive Steve Jobs,

who has been on a medical leave, didn't appear on

stage.

The new iPhone 3G S, which resembles current

models but is more powerful and can capture video,

will be available on June 19 in the U.S., Apple said.

A model with 16-gigabytes of storage will cost $199

and a 32-gigabyte model will cost $299, with a two

-year service contract with AT&T Inc.

Apple said the price for the current eight-gigabyte

iPhone 3G will drop to $99, down from $199.

The company also unveiled two new lower-priced

laptop computers and dropped the sales tag on its

upcoming operating system, addressing the issue

of affordability that has been raised about its popular

products amid a sharp global recession.
