When adding the monthly cost to the handset price it does give you the 'net contract price'

Eg. 550 for the phone + ? per month (not sure what these figures tend to be)

Vs

200 for the phone + 45 a month

Then you can compare what will be cheaper over 18 months!

I feel sorry for the intelligent people on here. Tom, Revels and Christopher to name but a few.

Truth be told you guys are actually predicting the price of a product that doesn't exist.

Apple rumours every year come out and they're just plain speculation. It becomes tiresome!

Will it be easier to get Handset only or contract on release for a new iPhone based on those that were buying when the iPhone4 was released?

Lol, like predicting what it will look like when nobody has inside information on what it will look like?

It doesn't need to exist to predict it's price to be fair.

Apple tend to be rather predictable with pricing...mainly because nothing has really changed in years. Their replacement products all tend to cost the same as the outgoing models and have done for a long time. MBP in 2008 cost £150 less than the equivalent does now for instance. Add in s**ttier market now, VAT increases and lower £ - $ worth etc and it makes up a chunk of that.

So depending on spec. I would say the prices quoted won't be that far from the truth, thinking logically about it. Unless the thing is seriously special...or s**t.

Based on an unrelated event, Contract.

The way Apple dealt with the last iPhone release would show if they had problems with distributing contracts in bulk etc, or if they just wanted to shift as many 'handset onlys' as possible, so definitely related. It doesn't mean it will happen this time, but that wasn't the question.

I only named those names as you can see from every post they make, they're realists.

After being on here for a while and reading the sensible posts you learn that no one knows anything.

I do still lol at the "my hairdresser's brother's mate's mum slept with Steve Jobs and he told her loads of info".

I think I have decided that I want an iphone, and my contract ends October so it better be out by then! If not Im getting an HTC :) it is quite exciting though, the build up, even though it probably wont be that much different from the 4 :dapprove:

I was setting up a 3G the other week for a guy at work. The phone was so slow compared to an iPhone4. Hope you can cope :)

My contracts up on the 20th Sept, do you think the 5 is going to be a massive improvement over the 4? Its wether i can justify the poss cost of phone/contract etc. Or just go with the four?

The big rumour is that they are going to release two new iphone5 models one for the elite geeky apple fanboys with all the tech, and a nano (cheaper version) for poor people like you ;)

i don't see why apple would bother... the iPhone 4 becomes the cheaper phone for 6 months until they stop making it... EVERY year the same story happens... by releasing 2 phones they would be shooting them selfs in the foot as most people would buy the cheaper version and the iPhone 4 would lose all sales over night.

the next phone they bring out they will just discount the price on the 4, just like they did when the 4 came out the 3gs was made cheaper.

Lol,
I think apple already know this,
The iphone nano will be aimed at the 'pay as you go' market or the cheapest contract iphone, ie free handset and £20-£25/month this will give scrubbers that currently have sh1te motorolas or nokias the change to now have an iphone but the nano wont have the bells and whistles of the iphone4 model

The iphone4 will be the midrange model and become the standard iphone

The iphone 5 will then become the iphone Pro

All my opinion of course but im certain this is what will happen

Also, when there is a more premium model of something,

the cheapskates will want in on that brand. Eg. People saving all their pennies for the lowest possible spec BMW as they can be associated with the likes of M3s, M5s to people not 'into their cars'

So it generates a wider target market. So the cheapskate one (if there is one coming) won't exactly damage apples reputation, it could simply enhance it and make it appeal to a bigger market.
 
B****cks will there be an iPhone nano.

Never heard so much drivel in my life.

As previously said, every iPhone release has been flooded with people saying "OMGZZZZ new iPhone Nano coming!!!11"

All that happens is the 4 will be made cheaper.
