You've got 2 hopes of that " bob and no"

 

[Hater]

LTE Watch?

I wouldn't mind having only a watch and no phone. I could use my iPad for phone stuff connected to the watch.

 

[doodah]

£949 for the base 8 model, not the 8+? Jesus. It wasn't that long ago the entry model iPhone was £499, a doubling is disgraceful.

 

[jaffveyda]

Well

So your hoping to get a more expensive device, for less several years later taking into account inflation, so I would say his comment stands correct.

I am only hoping, I have budget set for contracts that i dont like to increase. Bear in mind that new phones are not shifting as quick as in the past due to the prices. I think that was the statement from Carephone Warehouse.

You should potentially look at an out right purchase, with a good SIM only deal. I got the Mrs. a 64GB 6S, not long after release, it worked out at around £520 after cash back etc.

You can also get 5GB/Unlimited/Unlimited for £10, and a few others for slightly less. So in total it works out around the same price, but your not tied in.

Hang on, isn't 5GB more than 4GB, or did you mistype and mean 40GB?

 

[Irish_Tom]

My wife is using my old 4s and I'm on the 6s.

It was always my plan to get the 7s/8 and give my wife the 6s but I'm not convinced now.

Will wait for the keynote I guess.

That's a hell of a good discount, it's normally £40pm on a 12m contact.

We have 30% discount i think from work scheme, its the best way of save money.

Well that's a 57.5% discount, so bloody astounding.

 

[jaffveyda]

Despite being an Android user, slightly looking forward to the launch event. Apple usually know how to do a good one (minus some of the more technical details).

Price is of definite interest, and how the SoC is going destroy everything in the benchmarks (especially single threaded performance).
