    No point stocking an old product until the price drops .
  • There is no rush as I had pretty much decided to wait until new one had been released in hopes the 5 would be better value anyway. But it seemed strange there was no mention on website of it being out of stock that I could find

  • You would think they would have more in stock, trying to get the high price for the 5, before the key note on Tuesday evening. Rumoured two new iphones.

    The iPhone 5 is a bit of an embarrassment to Vodafone (and the other networks with either 800 MHz and/or 2600 MHz LTE), it's a 4G phone that won't work on Vodafone 4G. I bet Voda would like it to disappear without trace.

    Expect a big PR campaign when the new iPhone that will work on Vodafone is announced.

    Quite the opposite! They will want to run their stock down as low as possible before the announcement.
    1. Have you tried to Google the answer?
    2. If you were in the other person's shoes, how would you react?
    3. Do you want a quick answer or better understanding?

    I am obviously not business minded. I dont get it.

    I think even if the price was lower after the release of the 5s, it would still sell well anyway.
    However the fact it is a 4g phone and voda are just beginning to roll out the 4g network. I can see how it maybe seen as an embarassament. However its still the lastest iphone and there are alot of apple fan bois out there. ( I have several in my family) .
  • Don't want 4g as we live no where near where it will be available anyway. I don't want the latest phone either I just want the best I can get for what I want to pay. Will consider moving to 3 network if its cheaper anyway
