Rumors have it that the iPhone and iPod Touch will see $100 price drops in the coming months. At the same time, the lower capacity models (8GB iPhone and 8GB iPod Touch) may be discontinued.
With the discontinuation of the lower capacity models, this would leave the 16GB iPhone at $399 and the 16GB iPod Touch at $299. The 32GB Touch would go for $399.
At the moment this is all rumor so take it as you will. The main source (9to5mac) has had a decent success rate in the rumor department. If this one is true, I certainly hope there is not the same outcry as we had from early iPhone adopters… With the $200 price drop and discontinuation of the 4GB iPhone…Prompting Steve Jobs to give early adopters a $100 store credit.

Personally, I would like to see a $100 price drop on the 8 gig. I’d like to buy one as a PDA. I’m not especially interested in the music functions. As it is now, it makes a decent PDA. A price drop would make it more attractive.
