Is it better to wait for the sales to buy an iphone4?

Hi!

Do you think it is better to wait for the january sales to buy an iphone 4? Or do you think they won't yet go down in price as they are still a new product?

I want to get my lucky boyfriend one for christmas & would rather get him one to open on christmas day, but if it saves money to wait a few days, then he will have to wait!!

Thank you for any advise!!

Zoe

    The price won't go down at all. Apple set the price not the networks. You might get some free stuff in Jan (but remember that vat goes up by 2.5% on the 4th), but that would be about it.

    As above, it won't go down in price.

    Bets are iPhone4 WILL go down in price early next year, because...

    ...rumours are, Apple are rushing out the iPhone5 for late Feb, early March as well a new "iPad2".

    So old versions will get cheaper as everyone sells them for a new version.... ^_^

    Pure rumour and speculation... which happens pretty much every year and is always wrong.
