There is Now an iPhone for Every Budget [Chart]

Horace Dediu at Asymco notes that the iPhone is now available as five different variants with 10 different price points.

Including all the pricing options It's a very regular pattern. It reminds me of the iPod which, at one time was sold at every $50 increment point from $50 to $500.

Considering product performance or in terms of option value, the buyer has many things to weigh.

Check out the chart below. Notice how perfectly staggered the price points are...
