AT&T ( NYSE: T) has released more details on the pricing of the 3G iPhone, which will be available in stores on July 11. Perhaps the biggest news buried amidst the numbers is that AT&T intends to offer a "no-contract-required" iPhone for $599 for the 8GB version, and $699 for the $16 GB version sometime "in the future". The carrier will be selling the 8 GB version for $199, and the 16GB model for $299, and both, as reported earlier, will require customers to lock into a two-year contract. So industry analysts were about right: the carrier is subsidizing the phone somewhere in the $300-$400 mark ( release).
