Half the Price + $240

The new hidden price that wasn't told at the WWDC keynote was the news that AT&T was upping the price of service. AT&T has upped its monthly charge from $60 to $39 for voice and $30 for  unlimited data. Considering that the cost of the previous iPhone at $399, that is a cost of an extra $40 over the two year contract. Is a $20/yr premium worth what this phone offers? That is up to each and every different person to figure out. It took me some time with a calculator to know the difference. I for one was thinking a lot more ripped off , but now feel not so much. For the faster data rate and better battery alone $20 a year is not all bad.
