Hi! Well, CHris is United Kingdom, and I know the iPhone can be had pretty cheap on Contract over there. Unlocked it's about £600 I think, but someone managed to get it for hardly anything from Orange on contract.
So, I suppose it depends on your options, too, and whether or not the carrier he has has the cheaper options. Even so, if the specs weren't necessary, I can see why he went for the 4S. Besides,if you don't think you'll eve use an 8 megapixel camera and Siri, then no. At least, I think he's UK, since he shops in Sainsbury's. I've never heard of an Australian Sainsbury's.
