It's great for the impulse buyers who see $99 and fall in love with the idea of buying it. The phrase "penny smart, dollar dumb" comes to mind here.

There are also people buying solely on price, who after comparing it against a free flip-phone, will spring for the $99 iPhone as a (relative) luxury.

Don't the monthly plans differ in price as well? I could understand the $99 option if it was the only cost difference between a flip phone and an iPhone.
