Vodafone reveals iPhone 4 pricing

thinking about the 32GB...

Total cost of ownership over 24 months:

25GBP per month = £880
30GBP per month = £959
35GBP per month = £1019
40GBP per month = £1109
45GBP per month = £1169
60GBP per month = £1440

Don't see the point of 16GB if you'll be shooting movies in HD.

Please don't confuse Apple users with your true facts.

Their maths goes like this:

Shiny thing + Apple logo = Buy

Tw*t alert he may go by Lacrobat but he most definitely is a grade A top choice tw*t. He'll miss this because he's trying to get rid of a virus off his wintel

Why the secrecy?

If it's available in 10 days, why should the price be secret?

Compared to...

It puts the £429 iPad into perspective does it. Most people have no idea what there phone has cost them over the period of the contract.

Alternative math
New tech + 12 months = Paper weight !

yeah apple fans are defintly simple people haha!! Oh lets pay 5 times the price to get sumthing thats just nice and shiny :P.

I think the iphone would be the only thing i would actually consider buying from apple if it wasnt for the ridiculous price. Luckily we now have a capable alternative in android which given another year will be much better than the iphone os

Oh please......

For an audience that's supposed to attract PC professionals, there's a certain amount of crap here.

@martinburman - "Luckily we now have a capable alternative in android which given another year will be much better than the iphone os".

So wait another year. iOS 5 will be out by then ;-)

However, if you prefer Android, fine.

@randomtoast - never bought a shiny gadget that's out of date almost as soon as you've parted with your hard earned?

Jaberwocky's got it about right. Whatever we buy now, from whatever company, in 12 months time it's old hat and we'll want the next thing, whether Apple, Android, PC, Mac...it's just the way it is. Life moves on.

I'm getting one because I "want" one, not because I "need" one, and I'm lucky enough to be able to afford it.

@simonhiscocks

Where did you see me complaining Simon??

Taking a look a the old vodafone 3GS prices, they are exactly the same as these leaked v4 prices, so i wouldn't be at all suprised to see them change (up?) before the day is out... Personally I want to get a feel for total cost compared to the closest competition and see if i'm prepared to pay the apple premium.

I love how this subject gets everyone so hot under the collar! :)

sim free

Considering the rubbish tariffs and restrictions they are introducing, sim free has got to be the way to go, assuming your provider will convert your ordinary sim to a micro.

What next

looking at the 3G package from Vodafone when it came out they wanted to charge £25 a month but after Orange and 02 came out with the same package for £10 they dropped the price, im hopping to see this with the iphone4 pricing, may be not as much with the price of the handset but may be better deals on the contrats.
