    The iPhone 4s is cheaper in Ireland,

    however if its the 5C or 5S ( they no longer sell the 5 ) then get in in Belfast.:D

    iPhone 5 32gb in Ireland is 799 in uk it is 629 pounds which is about 750-760 euro. Unless you are going that way anyway then I wouldn't go up especially as you would probably spend the 40/50 on fuel/food/****e for the day!

    The iPhone4 is cheaper in the south so definitely do not buy it in Belfast.

    All of the iPhone5 models are cheaper in the UK but you need to remember that the credit card FX charge is effectively in the ballpark of 2.5% off the interbank rate and you're unlikely to get a better exchange rate when purchasing sterling notes. Even allowing for that charge, all of the iPhone5 models are between 25 and 30 euros cheaper in the north based on last Friday's exchange rate.
