    On contract. You hardly expected sim-free for that?? No-one will know until the carriers and Apple announce it....

    Thanks godtabh.

    Prices for sim-free phones again set in an attempt to push people onto contracts.

    Prices have remained relatively static, infact, I believe they may have shifted slightly downwards this year.

    If I get someone to buy it sim free for me in the USA, will it work here

    yes. Just bear in mind no warranty.

    Ya the iPhone 6 is cheaper than the iPhone 5s was on release. You are getting more memory for your money now.

    Anybody know if the pre-order is just for store collection?

    UK delivery I'd imagine. Store collection is from the 19th in Belfast.

    Hopefully that means an early delivery time so. As in if we order on the 12th they may be available on the 19th for dispatch or near that time anyway. Last few times you have ordered the same day they have been in stores and dispatch was about 3 weeks later.

    I'd say your spot on. Order the 12th. Dispatched the 19th, which is a Friday. They may get to Parcel Motel on the Monday, then to your PM Inbox by Tuesday/Wednesday latest.

    Would be great. Its a way better idea than having online and instore sales taking off at the same time.

    iPhone 4S September 2011 €599
    iPhone 4 June 2010 €599
    All 16gb models

    Only for the 64gb model. 16gb is the same price as last year.

    Ive never bought 16gb models so cant disagree, ive bought 32gb models all the time up in Belfast. its 20 more this year for a 64gb phone against a 32gb IP5 from September 2012.

    Will the 4G on the American one work here? I think it didn't on the 5s

    Well the pricing I have shown is true I used internet archives to go back to what the Apple website looked like in 2012, 2011, and 2010.

    You have to specifically buy the GSM version.

    Not doubting you, I just looked back my apple store receipts for mine. You get them by email so I've just saved them over the years.

    I was expecting dual sim card capability for iPhone 6 from Apple but they disappointed me .. :(

    There are people have to used 2 phones (work&personal ). Why does Apple ignore this fact ?

    I'd say you were possibly the only person that expected that. Never heard it mentioned with iPhones, particularly seeing as Apple made sim cards smaller, and are pushing to do away with them altogether.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 156 ✭✭newbie13


    Dual SIM adapter cases were invented 2 years ago for iPhones but nothing replaces the Original(built in) from factory .

    I think that's pretty bad IT deployment by the IT department if anyone needs two phones.

    Except they expect you to pay 100-200 more to increase your memory. But its you can do its yourself with a Samsung for an extra memory card. Its a rip off, as no one in their right mind will buy a 16gb phone unless they plan on not taking photos or having music on it
