Re: starting may 27th grandfathered plans will no longer be perma
You can already get Iphones on prepaid, it's just not promoted by major carriers because they want you on post paid. As for Iphones on prepaid in general, see below.
It could happen, but not right now. Also, don't expect the Nexus line either. I can see Sprint worried that would bleed off post paid customers.
Prepaid comprises of around half, or more of the cell phone market in many countries and in some, post-paid and subsidizing is actually abnormal. Apple MUST get into prepaid to crack those markets. Jobs may have been a rich, monopolistic hippie who could tell stock holders suck it, but most corporate ceo's are just (well paid) whores to them. Now that he's gone, expect them to start pushing Apple into new areas to make even more money. They have already started using lawyers more and more, the Jobs era at Apple is over and stock holders are salivating at the mouth.
