Re: buying iPhone models

2011-10-29 Thread Dónal Fitzpatrick 
The price of the iPhone plans here is horrendous.  Chris mentioned his cost 31 
sterling.  For an equivalent plan here you're looking at about 85€ up.  That's 
why the maths I mentioned earlier make sense. But as Nick says everyone, and 
every jurisdiction is different.

 Hi Chris,
 
 I'm a little bit curious as to why you didn't go for the iPhone 4S
 instead of the 4, since the 4S is the latest one. I suppose it's
 either because it was too much, or you just didn't need the extra specs.
 
 Anyway, have fun with your iPhone regardless. :)

Re: buying iPhone models

2011-10-29 Thread Nicolai Svendsen 
Hi!

Here, Apple hasn't dropped the price for the iPhone 4. All 16GB and 32GB models 
cost the same, and the change in each model is $200 plus a tax/Vat of 25%.

One thing is certain, though. Apple loves money, but I'm sure anyone does. But 
Apple knows how to charge much and get a lot.

Nicolai

Yes. For now the iPhone 3GS or the iPhone 4 is in fact cheaper worldwide 
in any way shape or form, free or otherwise. Apple always seem to charge 
the earth for current models but a lot less for perhaps the last two 
earlier models.

I appreciate that the iPhone 4S it the latest model and offers more than
does the actual iPhone 4 but in Australia you're looking at nearly a
thousand dollars for the 32GB model so there's quite aprice difference.

Its amazing how iPhone models seem to retain some value, I was offered

Re: buying iPhone models

2011-10-29 Thread chris hallsworth 

Hi all.
I got the phone free on a 24 month contract costing £37 a month 
including the internet which is £6 a month. So it's actually £31 a month 
plus £6 a month for internet costing £37 a month. I can change this at 
any time online if I find I am not using the mobile internet that much.

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.
