s3 will kill the iphone 5. Epic fail on apples part. They should have designed a new phone. This should have been the iphone 4S and the iPhone 4S should have been the iPhone 4.

![]() I actually chose that because 16gb without sd support a waste of time with today's apps 6 or 7 big games and your done. Whilst the 4s was £699 you could get away with less memory a year ago and go for the cheaper model. |

Is that a direct comparison to the $399 US price? Why such a disparity for the UK?

Because the US price is based on a 2 year contract.

You can buy a 64Gb SD card for £40 for the Galaxy S3 or many other phones.
If you buy an iPhone don't complain about the price just lie back and think of Apples huge profits

It's a good point though isn't it
![]() Because if you look at the cheaper version, you then are not much more expensive than what other high end smartphone cost. Quote:

I disagree. I have a tonne of stuff on my 16GB iPhone 4. More than enough space.
I ran out of space on my 16gb iphone 4S a ton of times between music, films and games. In this day, its not more than enough, and it would have been nice to spend £15 on another 16gb rather than apples £100 per 16gb at the time. |

![]() ![]() wtf!Thats like looking at the cost of cars from say Ford, totally ignoring the cheaper cars, and then going "OMG look at the price of that - just for a car!". If the cheapest iPhone was that I would agree with you. But its not. Quote:
Even still, a Galaxy S3 with a 64gb card weighs in several hundred pounds cheaper and then has more space!

More than enough space. ![]() but nowhere near same price. Again 16gb is not enough on top phones capable of high res video, games, pics etc. Finally a little confused are you? |

For what we have just seen announced £529 should be the maximum cost of the 64gb version.

If the cheapest iPhone was that I would agree with you. But its not. £529 16b £629 32gb £729 64gb Like i said, a galaxy S3 with a 64gb card takes it up to 80gb and costs several hundred pounds less. Apple have always overcharged for storage. |
