I am in the same boat as many of you iPhone 6S plus 64gig very happy with storage level. I saw one other post about this but want to know your thoughts:
I will be heading to America on the 23rd for a Holiday so buying in America is a possiblilty for me.
Prices in the UK
- iPhone 7 Plus 128gig = £819
- iPhone 7 Plus 256gig = £919
Prices in the US
- iPhone 7 Plus 128gig = $869 (£650 ish)
- iPhone 7 Plus 256gig = $969 (£725 ish)
I know there is state tax in this America but will be in New York so I believe its 4% which puts the US iPhone up to:
- 128gig to $903 (£675 ish)
- 256gig to $1007 (£753 ish)
Seems like a better deal as it is the same phone and will unlocked to any network around the world. The downside is it ships with a US plug and therefore the box will have a US plug cut out instead of a UK one, therefore this may effect the possible resale value in the UK come iPhone 7S time next year (yes i buy each phone every year and sell on and put against the new phone).
Would buying a phone in the UK with a US charger (obviously I would supply a UK plug with the sale) stop some people buying it??
Other than the resale is there any other disadvantages of doing this? Does the UK's consumer law work if the product was bought outside the UK? I assume not??
Thanks for any help or opinions
