Wow £499 only a few years ago then £529 how can they justify £549 for a phone similar to Iphone 5?
And the 5C is £469 wow?

The 4S was a much better all round handset to the 4. |

Since most contracts involving an I phone are 2 years and apple generally release a new phone every year you either join the just number or number +s cycle, so the iPhone 5S should appeal to iPhone 4S users mostly. |

Apples idea of what constitutes a budget handset shows they are firmly in cloud cuckoo land.

Is that true?
The 'budget' iPhone 5C is costing £469 sim-free? Is that a joke? That's a PREMIUM price for a budget phone! |

The budget phone is the iPhone 4S at £349, not the 5C.

What about the iPhone 2G. It's probably the same price as the Nexus 4 by now. Excellent value.

Apple will get what they think they can for it. They pretty much know their market. (As does any company - non of them are charities).
The market will decide. If it fails, watch the price fall, if it's a success then you'll have to pay |

They stopped selling that one. It's iPhone 4S/5C/5S now, plus the original iPhone was crap, as was the 3G , too feature incomplete like not being able to record video. Now they are not, and compared to my android galaxy s2 that locked up, freezed, got red hot and crashed lots I really like my iPhone 5.

I suspect next year the 5C and 5S will be discontinued and it will be a Iphone 6 and Iphone (budget). |

Even the Galaxy S4 is cheaper by at least £34 compared to the 5C...
What are Apple thinking with these prices? |

nexus 4 for 199 pounds is twice the phone of the 5s and 5c combined.
iphone prices it s like harrods... crap in a nice box for rich people... the sad thing is that even though it s expensive is no were NEAR as good as a middle class android device... i think apple believes that we are stupid and don t know the cost of aluminium or plastic... they can keep both of the new iphones... I will buy an iphone ONLY when the do one with android instead of the idiotic and primitive ios. untill then apple can shove iphone up their ........... |

Only thing I enjoyed is finding out when I can get iOS 7 on my iPad and getting a proper multitasking system and control panel. Hopefully I enjoy iOS 7 some of the things I do miss from android are meant be in it. Rest was horrible to find out iPhone 5C is biggest con I heard in a long while. I feel sorry for people who are going buy by accident I can imagine though some operators will be offering it for free with a high end contract or 99 with a mid range so it might suit some people.
