iPhone 3G Repair Costs Soar

Lots of people were rejoicing over the fact that Apple has started offering the iPhone 3G without a contract, albeit at a much higher price. While most people are prepared to shell out $599 and $699 for the 8GB and 16GB respectively, it’s a whole different issue to find out that the cost of getting replacement units for phones that have been dropped or exposed to water have gone up by $400 over the past few days. Previously the cost of replacing a non-warranty device would be between $199 and $299, depending on the model. After you found out the cost of fixing your iPhone 3G, will you still opt for the no-contract option?
