UK iPhone 5s and 5c Thread

[Taylor-C]

Anyone have any idea how much eBay prices for iPhone 4s/5 will be affected, and when they will be affected? Looking to pick up a second hand one.

Most likely late next week onwards, but it could happen quicker.

 

[rh1]

My guess
iPhone 5C SIM FREE from £399 to £499
iPhone 5S SIM FREE from ££529 £699

My guess
iPhone 5C SIM FREE from £399 to £499
iPhone 5S SIM FREE from ££529 £699

I guess we'll soon see if you're right!

O2 announcing prices tomorrow!

Damn, looking to change over from my HTC Desire ASAP, just thought it would be sensible to wait till prices drop.

5S: £549 (16GB), £629 (32GB), £709 (64GB)
5C: £469 (16GB), £549 (32GB)

Jeez 🙁

Just saw the £549. Why the £20 extra?

The sim free 5c is steep too. £469?

Because they can. 🙁

It also went up £30 last year.

 

[ri0ku]

lol the prices are stupid.The 5c price makes no sense... its hardly a saving at all.

 

[Enco]

Price Increase (UK)

Wow.

+ no pre order

 

[gstevie]

Was surprised to see the £549 mark on the 16GB! And its not even going on pre-order! Really surprised by those things.

 

[skwood]

No pre-order for 5S

Noticed on the store it says on the 5C page "Pre-order on 13th" and on 5S "Order on 20th"

😕

 

[Taylor-C]

Surprised at these price changes!

Can't get to the case page yet, but hopefully it'll be up soon and I can post more details on them in the OP!

What colour/capacity are you guys planning on getting?!

And it's now 'iPhone 5s' and 'iPhone c' - not capitals - 😱

 

[sk8mash]

What was the old price?

 

[wasimyaqoob]

Old price for 16GB was £529

Also you could pre-order iPhone5

 

[davejsb]

No pre-orders for the 5S

Extremely annoying.

 

[biohead]

5c cases are £25, and 5s cases £35.

Sorry but thats me at least considering the Nexus 5 now.

 

[limesmoothie]

The 5c pricing @ £469 is not a good decision - unless networks offer decent contract deals, they won't shift in big numbers. Hardly a threat to the low/mid end Android devices at the £150-200 mark.

 

[Taylor-C]

Noticed on the store it says on the 5C page "Pre-order on 13th" and on 5S "Order on 20th"

😕

Well spotted, that's strange!!

 

[ri0ku]

5c cases are £25, and 5s cases £35.

Sorry but thats me at least considering the Nexus 5 now.

The whole thing is a joke. The only thing I look forward too now is software from apple. The hardware is starting to really be unadventurous and safe.

 

[PaulOBrain]

5c cases are £25, and 5s cases £35.

5C case made of silicon, 5S case made of leather.

 

[borgqueenx]

these prices are unlocked?

 

[biohead]

Yeah - unlocked, sim-free, off-contract.

 

[JDee]

these prices are unlocked?

Yep, them prices are for an unlocked iPhone.

 

[Taylor-C]

No pre-orders for the 5S

Extremely annoying.

Apple has updated the store, and Pre-Orders will now start on the 13th for delivery on the 20th!!

 

[bobbytallant]

Wow I thought the 5C was supposed to appeal to emerging markets, kids etc - but priced at £469 off contract lol, that aint gonna happen.
