AT&T has noted today that it will finally offer standard insurance for all iPhone models under their Mobile Insurance Program.
Beginning on July 17th, the popular Apple smartphones will be eligible, at $5 a month.
The carrier's standard insurance program offers protection against loss, theft, physical/liquid damage and mechanical/electrical failure.
iPhone 3GS or earlier will have a $50 deductible per claim while the iPhone 4 will have a $125 deductible, standard for smartphones.
One caveat: "Customers can only enroll within 30 days of a new activation or upgrade, prior activations or upgrades outside of 30 days are not eligible."
Until now, you had to pay a ridiculous $12 per month and $200 deductible for iPhone insurance through a third-party supported by AT&T.
