    Looks like it will be €499 for the 5C and then a little bit extra for the 5S. Maybe a €150 difference. Most will probably just go the for 5S.

    Yeah. Unless they are losing that sweet deal with the American carriers.

    The price seems reasonable considering this is a replacement for the 5 and not the 4S as previously predicated. The specs are almost identical. This was never going to be a "cheap" iPhone.

    The iPad Mini was much more expensive than hoped as well and it didn't do it any harm.

    Yes. That's a real sweet spot. That's an "expensive present" spot. If they are just keeping their old pricing model I don't see why you wouldn't keep the 5.

    Why not? If apple wants to be mass market they need a $300 iPhone. They are about 14% world market now.

    Just looks like they added an extra iPhone rather than a budget one. Plus the 5S has the usual specs bumps and probably the fingerprint sensor as the big thing.

    In economic terms. Iphones are whats know as "Snob goods".

    You buy an Iphone, because you can afford an iphone.
    You could buy a cheep smart phone that would also browse the web and soforth. But you bought an Iphone cause You could afford an iphone. if they can charge, say, 600 and get 14% global market share. if they charged 300, doesnt actually say they would get 28%
