Made more money? Do you know how supply and demand works? Trust me, this price drop is not about Apple being generous or altruistic. The price drop is for the very purpose of helping them make the most money. They've already sold the phone to nearly everyone who was willing to pay a $600 pricetag (ridiculously high, compared to the rest of the cell phone market) for it. Saturated. Now it's time to sell to all the folks who will pay $400 for it. In a year, they'll drop the price again, and collect the stragglers. At the same time, they'll also introduce iPhone 2.0 at $499, and start the process all over again. Dropping the price will help them sell more, and in the end, they will make more money. Less money per phone, yes. But it will have a positive impact on their bottom line, and it's all very intentional.
