is it at all likely if i wait to upgrade till September that i will get the 6 for around £35 a month with at least 1 gb of data and not a huge upfront cost for the phone?

    U Must be joaking right. Iphones r a ripoff. It will be more then £35 a month and min £50 upfront cost.
    What happens if you push this button?

    You should buy it from Apple (probably at around £550) and get a SIM-only contract for around £10 to £15 per month (or Giffgaff). This will cost you less over 12 to 24 months than getting a subsidised iPhone and inflated service contract.

    Apple are currently suing my friend over his gold plated butt-plug business, apparently they already own the patent on overpriced crap for ar**holes

    Don't knock something just because you can't afford it.

    I always love how a £550 RRP iphone is a rip off and a £559 RRP Samsung s5 is not.

    But no I would expect a new iPhone 6 to be at least £40 a month probably with a £100+ upfront cost.

    LOL, I am fortunate enough to have a job that would allow me to buy 2 iPhones a week if I wanted and still have enough change to cover my weekly bar tab. My only gripe with Apple is being told what I can and cannot do with something that I own outright.
    Understeer is when you hit a wall with the front of your car
    Oversteer is when you hit a wall with the back of your car
    Horsepower is how fast your car hits the wall
    Torque is how far your car sends the wall across the field once you've hit it

    Based on previous iphone releases, I would say, no.

    That right there is why people call apple fans sheep. Assuming that just because someone doesn't want an iPhone they can't afford one.


    OP. You've got no chance. Even not iPhone 5s contracts that are £40 a month have upfront costs.


    If you can buy outright. Doing so is the cheapest way to go. If not, and you don't want to pay out much upfront you're looking at £50-£60 a month for two years.

    Save up and buy the phone of your dreams from apple, then choose the cheapest sim only deal that meets your call/text/data requirements.

    Spending £600 may make you baulk, but it will be cheaper than signing up to a 24 month contract, and give you much more freedom in changing providers where necessary!!

    And if you hav'nt got £600 saved up, you cant afford a luxury mobile!!
