However, once again you have used the words 'price slashed' but then the examples you have given is show reductions of around $50 to $100 (that is about £60) when it is bought on contract. The S4 had a price drop on launch day and has continued to drop since.
Quite frankly, if apple are that worried, they should drop the price as far as they have to, I'm sure there is plenty of margin in the price,
What is more interesting to me, in this thread about the S4 is why the need to slash the price of a premium flagship phone which is selling so well. That can't be good for owners who want decent resell values, and seems to devalue the brand for no reason.”
Oh my gosh! You are so deluded it's unreal.
First, i am not using the word slashed. I am quoting analysts, retailers and reporters. I gave no actual pricing examples, please don't make up stuff i've said.
Second, The S4 did not have a price drop on launch day. That is untrue. RRP was originally £579. Please prove this drop in price.
Third, Apple won't be worried too much, iPhone 5S is doing great. But they need a future plan for 5C.
Fourth, where has the S4 seen a huge price slash? It's simple depreciation, the price has fallen steadily over time. There has been no price drop, no retailer slashing prices. Amazon are selling it for more than all other competitor smartphones and for more than what the S3 was selling for after six months as well.
You're a deluded fanboy who can't see reason.
