(Rumor) Next-Gen iPhone Pricing Details October 14th Launch

(Rumor) Next-Gen iPhone Pricing Details October 14th Launch
A series of new last-minute rumors are now surfacing suggesting the prices that Apple will offer their next-gen Apple iPhone hardware at, and suggesting a launch date of October 14th.

9to5Mac reports that they’ve heard whispers that the Apple iPhone 4S will start at just $99 for a 16GB model, with a 32GB model available for $199 and a 64GB model available for $299. They also state that they’re hearing that the launch will happen on October 14th. They also report that the cheaper 8GB Apple iPhone 4 will cost just $99 on contract, and the Apple iPhone 3GS will become free on contract.
MacDailyNews reports things a little differently, claiming that both the Apple iPhone 4S and the Apple iPhone 5 will be released. On their scale, the 8GB Apple iPhone 4 will be the budget model and become free on contract, the Apple iPhone 4S will target the mid range, and the Apple iPhone 5 will be the high-end model:
• Apple iPhone 4, 8GB, A4, 512MB RAM, 5 MP main camera, black (GSM) – $0
• Apple iPhone 4, 8GB, A4, 512MB RAM, 5 MP main camera, white (GSM) – $0

MacDailyNews also echoes 9to5Mac’s claim of an October 14th release, which in turn agrees with my earlier prediction as well.
