How soon will iPhone 4 prices drop?

My 3GS contract ends early October and I am looking to upgrade to an iPhone 4 rather than the 5, but I will feel miffed if the prices drop considerably a few weeks later!

I can't afford to buy a handset outright so it has to be contract.

Do the prices really drop that much and so soon after the new release? I won't mind so much if any reduction doesn't happen until the new year, for example.

Any thoughts welcome. :)

    In my experience, the prices don't tend to drop by much. Apple generally recall the old product and then release a lower spec version as a reduced price. For example the 3GS 16GB got recalled and they released the 8GB version.
    Have I helped? Feel free to click the 'Thanks' button. I like to feel useful (and smug). ;)
