Sprint scores iPhone 5 exclusivity?

[Cowboy Brian]

My 32 iPhone 4 was 299.

Usually Apple works prices down for similar models between versions.

I'd think the 32GB will be $199 and the 64GB will be $299.

If its 199$ ill upgrade lol I could get 150$ selling my iphone4.

That is almost a year old, but that sounds about right for the iPhone4S. There is no way in hell Apple would be selling iPhone4S for $200/$300. They have to get kickbacks (subsidies) from the phone companies. The phones cost more than that to build and we all know Apple is all about huge margins.

There is no way the phone costs much more than 100$ to build.

The 16GB iPhone 4 cost $188.51 to be exact. The larger storage capacity phones would cost even more.

 

[Rogah]

Are you sure that is without a contract?

You may be right. I'll have to see how it all plays out.

This isn't going to go over well with ATT iPhone customers if true...

No doubt. I'm an att customer. This sucks.

I'm leaning towards upgrading to it, mostly because I still have the 3GS and have been waiting for awhile for a new one to come out. I'd have gotten the 4, but was concerned about the bad rap the antenna was getting.

I'll just get a middle-of-the road (32GB) and then if the 5 looks much better, I'll give the 4S to my wife and upgrade to that one.

Selfish *******. :laugh2:

 

[CowboyMcCoy]

Why would apple hitch their wagon to any specific company at this point?

This is the part I don't get, but I only suspect they may see more competition on the horizon.

Guaranteed $20B from a single company over five years just to withhold the iPhone 5 just for a month or two from other vendors?

It's not like they are pulling the same exact thing they did with AT&T where it was 100% exclusive for the entire life of the phone.

Seriously, though, she doesn't really care about technology all that much.

She'd still be using a Gordon Gekko cell phone if I didn't get her new stuff from time to time.

Sprint will offer unlimited data plan for the iPhone 4S


A Sprint spokesperson gave us a ring to let us know that the newly announced iPhone 4S will be eligible for the carrier's unlimited data plan. According to Sprint, pricing will start at $69.99 for unlimited data and 450 talk minutes, with the Simply Everything unlimited calling and data running you $99.99. At the very least, the company's confirmation that the plan is sticking around will help the third US carrier to nab the iPhone stand out among its predecessors. We'll add some PR as soon as it hits.

I sold my iPhone 3G at the time of the iPhone 4 release for $189 on ebay.

Pretty much paid $100 extra to get a phone that literally took a steamer on the 3G.

Who actually needs unlimited?

If you spend that much time and use that much bandwidth on the phone, find a computer to sit at.

I have 5GB, I think and I have never even come close to that.
