This is a press release from AT&T, of course they’re not going to say, oh yeah and you don’t have to sign up with us, you can get an iphone from apple without a contract.

You used to be able to buy an iPhone in an Apple store without activating it and could use a couple different methods when you got home to either use it with T-Mobile, with a pre-paid plan, and/or you could jailbreak it. From the sounds of it now, you’re going to have to sign a 2-year contract at the time of purchase. I’m not sure how they’re going to handle this in Apple stores, as it seems like the exact kind of hassle those stores try to avoid.

Wait, is that really a new catch? I thought the mandatory contract was also part of the last iPhone deal? Was it a one year contract?

AAPL closes lower on the day of the keynote. Every. Single. Time. After watching every MWSF, MWNY and WWDC since 2000, it never fails.
