Yeah it is a rip off. But I mean when Apple was offering it it was the same price.

Yup yup
I assume when Apple NZ starts to offer the iPhone 4S on their website it will be
16GB: $1099
32GB: $1279
64GB: $1399 OMG

nah i think they would have some sense an make it cheaper
as we witness the macbook air price to drop by 200 dollars and so has the mac mini perhaps this trend will carry on with the iPhone 4s?????

OMFG. It should be a quater of what it is per GB for memory upgrades. Even if it was a quater they'd still make a goddam profit from the upgrade.
My guess is that Telecom and 2Degrees are New Zealand exclusive companies. Vodafone is a huge company that is based in the UK and other places in Europe and overseas. Apple gave the iPhone to Vodafone without New Zealand in mind, only other, bigger countries that Vodafone is present in.
i don't think that telecom is nz specific i believe t is also in australia i do not know

It had better! I reckon $900 for the 16GB, $1000 for the 32GB and $1100 for the 64GB is a more reasonable price. I'd buy if that was the pricing. Hopefully it will be for the 4S.

The prices in other countries didn't go down. They just added a higher price for the 64gb.

Nah, its not in Auz. It is owned by Auzzies but it isn't a carrier in the actual country.

In that case I'm ****ed.
the only reason i say that is because the pricing in macs dropped i was assuming that the trend would follow with the iPhone i can hope can't i......The prices in other countries didn't go down. They just added a higher price for the 64gb.
What would one pay for 450 anytime minutes, unlimited N&W, unlimited data, and unlimited texting in NZ?
For 2 limes on one account I pay $130 a month.

Unlimited? Your talking about New Zealand remember. You can leave your dreams of unlimited anything back in Europe of America or whatever high tech place you came from.
lol unfortunately we are low tech we don't even have a single 4g tower
You think thats bad? 2Degrees reception is a P.O.S. There is only 3G coverage in the main urban centres (auckland, Wellington, Chrch) and its mega slow 2G for the rest of the country.
i thought 2 degrees was good so in terms of coverage what is the best carrier????
Well I'm in the Wairarapa and the coverage sucks ****. Haven't been on Vodafone, but, although Telecom has pretty rip off prices, they've got pretty good coverage in my area compared to 2Degrees.
Ah well when I get an iPhone I'll give my 2Deg Samsung to my girlfriend and switch back to Telecom

Yeah, its wandered onto general discussion about NZ carriers and Apple's presence in the country
So anyway, back on topic: Looks like we'll be getting the iPhone at the end of the year. Hoping the 16GB isn't going to be over 1grand at least...

Its Apple's fault really though. They should give the iPhone 4S to Telecom as well, so there'll be more competition and choice. Because if there's two carriers who get it they'll both compete to be the first one to release it, so it'll get here quicker and for cheaper. But since Vodafone is the only one with it they're not gunna go to any trouble... As far as they're concerned, they're the only carrier so they think they can do whatever the f they want...
