I gave In and bought one, not really sure why as I have a 4s, I'm just a sucker for new things
For some reason I read that as you'd bought a gold plated butt-plug.

Maybe it's Gods way of saying you make too much money.

..... on a phone.......
The word "suckers" springs to mind......
I'm sure there are things you spend your money on that others would think the same.
I think games consoles and such are a waste of money for example.... Yeh I said that! Lol
I'm 26 and have never owned one
With an expensive smart phone, if you can afford to buy the phone unlocked outright it normally makes much better sense financially to do so in the long run and get a SIM only deal.

I might do that
My contract ends in december, think I better go to a SIM only deal and use my iPhone 4 a little longer and when I think it's time for the new one, buy it unlocked.Edit: Just had a quick look on the providers website and sim only isn't that cheap here, and only up to 2Mbps speed available. Current abo is about the same in price but I'm on 7.2Mbps as that was on offer at the time. If you still want to have 7.2Mbps, you have to move up and will cost a lot more and that is with the 4S. Not sure if 2Mbps is quick enough these days? I do use the phone on Wifi whenever possible though.

Very much so for the past 6 years I've bought my phones on ebay and gone with sim only deals.
I'm now paying £7.32 a month for
500 X-net mins
Unlimited Texts
1Gb Data
3000 Virgin to Virgin Mins
on a 30 day rolling contract. I get such a good deal as we have broadband, tv and phone with Virgin and pay over £100 a month for that, but my entire family have Virgin Mobiles to get a discount on 30 day sim only contracts.
Ye they have you in the contracts, you can get the same contract as the £36 iPhone sim only through 02 for less than £15 a month and also around £12 for vodaphone.
Thing you dont get tho is the tethering option can only have this through the contract as far as I know, also the visual voicemail but hardly worth the premium. I also buy the phine outright you will save at least £250 over the 24 months depending on which contract you take and how much the phone it.

See what I dont understand is this.
The iphone 5s are all the same except for the amount of memory.
The only difference between the 16, 32 and 64 is memory.
So why the massive hike in price, why does the 32 cost over £100 more than the 16.
Go have a look on ebay for micro sd memory, or hell any memory. SD micro memory costs £6 for 16GB in some places. What real justification do Apple have for such inflated prices?
