Apple Discussion Thread - iPad Air 2, iMac 5K Retina, OS X 10.10 out

[BoomKack 6,501]

I hate the fact that Apple bumps up the price in the UK compared to the US 

 

In the UK the iPhone 6 64GB is £619 which is $1008

but in the US the same phone is $749 which is only £459....

 

Why does it have to be so much more expensive in the UK when we have a lower GDP than the US

Why is your contract so expensive? i got the 6+ 128gb for £48 per month and a one off payment of £260

 

Because my carrier is an absolute asshole and where I live there isn't much choice.

 

BUT with the contract I get 6GB of data and month, unlimited worldwide texts and 600 minutes. Is your contract offering anything like that?

[OBEY 57,109]

$74 a month

but I also have to pay £329 ($535) for the phone at the beginning 

it's so damn expensive but we still pay for it  

as for me i have my phones with 2 years contracts

why do you have to pay 500$ then if you take a 2 year contract?  isnt it like 200$

My contract is Unlimited minutes and texts to any network, and 20GB data a month :)

Nope apparently not.

You have to remember though the cost of an iPhone in the UK =/= cost of an iPhone in the US. I'm basically paying about half of the iPhone upfront then the rest over the 2 years.

**** y'all and ya modestly priced networks

Just got back from the Apple.  I only tried out the new phones.  The 6+ wasn't as big as I thought it would be.  I'm tempted to get it now... The only problem with it is the size.  Because it'll never fit in my small pant pockets.  But I love the big screen.

contradicting yourself a little, no?

[VISION 52]

Can anyone tell me why people pay $60+ per month for service? 

I have Virgin Mobile and pay for my 5S only $30 a month with unlimited data

Maybe there is some hidden advantage that other carriers have I do not know about? 

I love my service, and they should have iPhone 6 and 6+ soon..

haha, well I tried to make sense of it at least... I mean that I thought it would be like "mini iPad" size even though it wasn't.  Yet it's still too big for my pocket.  Does that make better sense?

At least you can

 

I'll have to wait for my sister from the US to come home by November to get the Tmobile *unlocked* iPhone I asked her to buy for me.

As an android user I think its extremely immature and childish that other android users just come to this thread to be annoying and act like middle school children. If you're not a fan of apple then simply dont come into this thread if apple bothers you so much? I'm sorry to all apple users here that have to face android user sheeps. I'm happy for you all and the new iphone design looks pretty neat but I'll stick to my android. Remember its just electronics guys! No need for competition over a gadget.
