iPhone 5C - Three UK Pricing - Higher than expected

[krislord]

Hi,

Just been looking at some of the 5C contract pricing in the UK, and most of it is pretty bad - much more expensive than I expected.

Three in particular - ?41 for the one plan with ?49.99 up front payment! (Their cheapest tariff is ?37)

That's more than I think I'd be willing to pay for the iPhone 5S let alone an iPhone 5 in a plastic case.

I dread to think how much the 5S will be next week!

Not totally up to snuff on international carrier, I didn't pick that up lol...

Dramatically all these price will drop right before the holidays I am sure.

As a comparison Three are offering the iPhone 5 for ?29.99 upfront and ?35 per month.

So the 5C is ?20 more upfront and ?6 per month more than an iPhone 5....

They also offer the iPhone 5 on ?31 and ?33 per month tarrifs (both with ?29.99 upfront fees)

I don't know why anyone would rather have a 5C than a 5!
