Apple To Offer Free iPhone 3GS (With Contract) This Year (REPORT)

Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 5 this fall and bring a lot of new features that we don't even know yet. AppleInsider today has posted a report which claims that Apple is prepared to offer the iPhone 3GS, first released in 2009, as a free subsidized phone with a two-year service contract.

According to an Analyst:

While a $49 iPhone is already available (AT&T), psychologically a $0 iPhone provides a compelling offer," Abramsky wrote in a note to investors. "Proprietary survey data... suggests 14% are very/somewhat likely to buy the iPhone 3GS for free with 2-year contract, exceeding buying interest for the iPad (13%) and original iPhone (9%).

Analysts are not the most reliable sources but they're good to be trusted. The iPhone 3GS was dropped to $99 with contract and it won't differ a lot with Apple in case it dropped the iPhone 3GS to free with a 2 years' contract.
