Hi Fanus, Sorry if I may have implied this, but definitely not! The iPhone 5 16 Gig is $199 with a contract. I actually haven't seen the prices for buying the phone from Applke unlocked and without contract, but since the prices are the same with contract as before I also assume the full retail prices will be the same as they were for the 4S which means $650 for an iPhone 5 16 Gig, $750 for an iPhone 5 32 Gig and $850 for an iPhone 5 64 Gig. My guess is that the iPhone 4S 16 Gig which will be offered at $99 on contract will be $550 and the iPhone 4 8 Gig which is free with a contract will be $375 which is the same as the 3GS 8 Gig last year.

If this is indeed correct then someone here in South Africa is making a lot of money out of us. At the current currency we will pay $1132.

Now, is the iPhone 5 worth an extra $100? Well, if I came from a 3GS or 4 I would probably say yes, having a 4S 64 Gig I feel the same as Raul, there are just not enough hardware reasons for me to upgrade at this time. Instead I may actually consider buying an iPod Touch 5 again, this way I can see how I like the larger screen size and now that the iPod Touch gets SIRI and has a 5 MP auto focus back camera which is actually a better camera than even the 4 if I understand this correctly it's definitely worth considering. It would be the device I'd use at home for audio books and other stuff or even for a long flight it would make sense with 40 hours of audio playback. I also like the thought of the wrist loop and the reverseable 9-PIN connector. Of course I will probably wait until I know what the deal is with the iPad Mini which is expected to be announced around mid October.

Obviously the faster CPU and the form factor are nice things to have, but I'm not sure if those will justify the price difference between a 5 and a used or even new 4s. Cheers, Ben.
