$200 Subsidy on New iPhone?

USA Today is providing further evidence that carriers of the iPhone around the world will most likely subsidise the iPhone.

According to the newspaper the new iPhone will start at $199, that is with a $200 subsidy from AT&T.

The price also will rock: $199, according to people with knowledge of the matter, down from the current $399 and $499. Sources declined to be cited by name or affiliation because Apple and AT&T haven't authorized anybody to speak publicly about pricing until after Monday's announcement. The $199 price is being subsidized, though USA TODAY could not confirm details.
