According to my Apple Store App in the UK the unlocked prices are now:

4S 16G £499
4 8G £429
3GS £319

My plan was to get an unlocked 4 once the new phone what ever it was had been released. But £70 difference in the world of decent handsets is nothing.
I am 12 months away from an upgrade so was thinking of syncing that upgrade with the next generation.

Moreover the 3GS itself is hardly a bargin at 3/5 of the price of a new 4S.

I can't see how anyone is going to want to buy an unlocked 3GS or 4 at these prices.

What is the justification for this pricing structure?

Will prices have to drop?
