Average life expectancy of a cell phone is about 18 months. Not because cell phones fail often. Cell phones at hundreds of dollars are too often fashion accessories. Just like $100 sneakers, hundreds for cell phone is simply a necessary expense for many people. At $500, iPhone is extremely cheap among those it will be marketed to.
Number of access minutes? Irrelevant since iPhone are expected to be heavy WiFi users and since the AT&T system on which it will operate is physically believed to be weak anyway. Just another reason why Apple suggests WiFi use by iPhone will be greater.
