- Apple may soon “amp up competition with Android” by offering its iPhone 3GS for $0 (with a qualifying service contract).
- The iPhone 3GS was launched in the U.S. in June 2009.
- RBC Capital Market analyst Mike Abramsky suggests the free phone will be made available the same time that Apple releases its successor to the iPhone 4, providing options for different demographics.
- Abramsky also forecasts the free 3GS could “expand the iPhone’s worldwide marketshare from some 64 million users to more than 150 million users.”
- Google’s Android is currently the top-selling smartphone platform in the U.S.
