I reckon iPhone snobbery and its related Stockholm syndrome is still alive and well when someone can have it explicitly pointed out how to save on the contract, on a thread started for that exact purpose, and then say so what.

I suppose it's true though that it's not quite as dramatic as the case for the higher spec phone on the £52 contract.

Really don't understand your point regarding snobbery it's a mobile phone not a helicopter.

It's a premium phone, which costs at least £549 for the most basic model (£624 in your case). Premium products can generate snobbery, not with all owners but at least with some.

IMHO it is snobbery to say that £75 possible saving on a mobile phone purchase isn't worth mentioning and discussing.
For a helicopter an equivalent amount would probably be ~£300K.
