iPhone: Now in 16GB!

This Tuesday Apple made a surprise move to upgrade the amount of storage in their iPhone and iPod Touch. You can now buy a 16GB version of the iPhone for $499; the 8GB will still be $399. In addition, the 32GB version of the iPod Touch is $499; the 16GB iPod Touch is still $399, and 8GB version remains at $299.
These updates are available immediately on the online Apple Store.
Many view the updates for one of two reasons. Some people think the reason for the increase is so the iPhone will be capable of holding more applications when the SDK comes out later this month. The other group think this is just part of Apple’s scheme to take their customers money at any point, though anyway they can.
I think the upgrades could have come at Macworld. It would have prevented a lot of customers that wanted to buy an iPhone and were waiting for a potential update from buying an “old” product. There’s nothing that could have kept Apple from releasing these updates at that time. Now customers who bought it on January 15th can’t even return it in the Apple “grace period”.
