No iPhone 5 at Vodafone

Would you consider a droid or do you want to stay with ios?

I will stay with iPhone but it seems that it isn't worth getting a 4s as what they offered me wasn't much cheaper than a 5 so IMO worth the extra. Like my 3GS more than any other phone I've had and have pretty much had a contract phone for 12 or more years

If the rumours are true, apple may bring out a cheaper iphone 5c that maybe more economical but its all speculation until Tue night.

Ill just have to be patient and see what happens but I just thought it was strange that's all

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) .

But it won't be the newest iPhone come next Tuesday 6pm

That's fine as I don't want newest I just don't want oldest lol

Why not just upgrade on Vodafone through a third party retailer ?..........

I will if I find a better offer and they won't match it. Will wait to see what happens after release of new phones first though. Ill ask them what date my contract ends and what I do about giving notice etc if I'm still not happy with what they offer. Really want to keep same number though as had it 6 years

Quite the opposite! They will want to run their stock down as low as possible before the announcement.

Not so. The iPhone 4 is one of their biggest sellers by volume. The bigger picture is the earlier models become the lower-priced entry point and just as desireable. Even if Apple launch a cheaper plastic model, many will still prefer a solid quality model that the 4 & 5 will remain.

Yes, the 4 is still a big seller because it doesn't have LTE. It will continue to sell after the 5s comes out for that very reason. I doubt the 5 will hold its value as well as the 4 has.
