With almost every smartphone released coming with the magical $199 price point, is Apple going to try and undercut the competition with a cheap, 8GB iPhone 3GS?

Boy Genius Report today carried rumors of a $99 8GB iPhone 3GS. Citing two sources, the site says Apple and AT&T are mulling over the idea of a $99 iPhone 3GS in an effort to combat the Verizon and Motorola's DROID.

Before Apple launched the 3GS, folks speculated that the company could offer the old 8GB iPhone 3G for $99. A lot of people rubbished the rumors because Apple selling anything for ninety-nine bucks sounded plain ridiculous. However, the Cupertino-based company did go on to announce the 8GB iPhone 3G for $99 once the 3GS launched, so maybe this rumor is true too. Then again, that $99 deal was to get rid of old inventory and this would involve actually making an 8GB 3GS first.
