When the new phone comes out...

[NanC~]

Just wondering if anyone has heard if there will be any discounts on the iPhone 4 and 4s after the new phone is out next month, like they discounted the iPad 2 when the 3 came out.

Thanks

Yeah I heard they are going to be dropped from planes with little apple coloured parachutes over all the major cities...

Real answer: no one knows, wait and see.

Since the iPhone 3GS is getting iOS 6, I imagine it'll still be sold, so maybe:

3GS - Free
4 8GB (or even 4GB?) - $49
4S 8GB - $99
new iPhone - $199

It will probably be structured similar to that, but personally, I'd like to see Apple kill the 3GS and iPhone4, and only sell the iPhone 4S as 16GB and iPhone 5 in 16, 32 and 64.

Starting with a new baseline as being the entry level standard, Apple can bring in a new era of iOS and app development with much more horsepower in the toolbox.

Apple won't keep 4 active iPhone generations in its lineup. That said, since 4 and 4S are so similar (with similar component costs), Apple may eliminate 4 instead.

My personal wish:

Free: 4 8GB
$99: 4S 16GB
$199: New 32GB
$299: New 64GB
$399: New 128GB
