On topic: No way will apple release an 800 dollar iphone with a contract. |
They already do in Europe.
iPhone 4S 16GB from T-mobile is £36/month plus £49 upfront for 24 month contract, that's $1388. Not even unlimited.

Well when you look at it with the monthly payments it is pretty expensive, but just buying the phone itself, in the US, it's $200. Then if I were to add on the monthly payments, especially with my families, which is 200 a month with 6 people, my mom pays a lot for our iphones. This is at AT&T.
|
If you want just the wholesale phone cost, it's £500 = $775 to replace a 4S on that contract if it breaks. It's also about that on amazon.co.uk unolcked.
I bet that's a 12 month contract though. More of that cost is the phone cost, compare over 24 instead.

It seems like the US always has cheaper prices. I don't really know why. Probably mostly comes down to the strength of each currency.
|
hmm not sure about usa price, here in germany an iphone 4s 16gb unlocked without contract costs 629€ in the apple store which is $765. we have 19% taxes here so without taxes $643. that's the official price and you could get it maybe 30€ cheaper in another shop. how much does it cost without tax in usa unlocked without contract?
|
for the 16gb it's $650 unlocked without taxes. So they are about the same, except we don't have as high of taxes. For example, where I live, in the state of Indiana, our sales tax is only 7%.
