Apple iphone (8gb) price reduced to £169 from tomorrow

luckydip_3

Just been to town looking for an iphone and the girl in the o2 shop said that the price was going down to £169 tomorrow, a saving of 100 notes. I presume that it should be available at this price at Carphone Warehouse.

Not sure whether to believe it but it will be a cracking bargain if true.

PS This was with a £35 per month contract but we all know this is optional

Don't forget £100/£60 if you go through Quidco and buy from O2.co.uk/cpw.co.uk respectively.

Though I'm not sure if this would work if you don't actually sign upto contract.

If it works then potentially iPhone for £69!!

has that not always been in the terms and conditions though?

Am I correct in thinking this ONLY applies to iPhones, ONLY inthe Carphone Warehouse and ONLY on the 8GB model? The deal becomes less tempting the more I think about it. Surely shops such as o2 will have to dramatically slash prices soon due to excess of stock. I may just hold my hat on this one.

i'm thinking the thread title "Apple iphone 8gb" in the thread title answers quite a lot of your question


as for the carphone warehouse, judging by the bbc article that someone has linked to, it would seem that the O2 shops are doing this offer as well as the carphone warehouse. the iphone is exclusive to O2 so the carphone warehouse wouldn't be able to go ahead with this offer without O2 as far as i'm aware

so i wouldn't expect to see any dramatic slahing of prices

It clearly states in the OP that the guy in the O2 shop told him/her that they were reduding the Iphone:rolleyes:
