So... yes I think 650$ is way too much money to spend on an unlocked phone(and contract bound prices are crazy where I live 70$ a month +200$ initially for a 16gb iphone 6, maybe it'll translate to plus prices once it arrives next week, but I don't care).

My current plan is only 15$ a month, because I'm at the office all the time anyway, and barely use any data(only messengers), so I just text, reply to e-mails and talk on the phone when I'm out of the office.

So first I was thinking about waiting for the 5c prices to drop on the gray market. It's like 350$ bucks now for 16gigs(300 for 8gigs, but that's too low as I like snapping pics) and has been for a couple of months. Will it drop further?

5S has been 500$ for a while now, and I would get it for 400 no problem, but 500$ is steep, even 450$ is no joke. Is the 5s replacing 5c in price at the carriers as the cheapest option? I would really like that for 0$ + standard 35$ a month subscription.
 
Figures. But that keeps the god darn 5c at the 350$(I was secretly hoping that they'll try to get rid of it at a discount like 300$ for 16gig). So I guess what I really need to do is get a contract bound 5s(if it drops to the current 5c prices).
