IERI (Yesterday) Apple was making the announcement which many of you have been waiting for for about 2 weeks, telling us that Romania will be part of the third wave of countries where the iPhone 4S will be launched. The launch in Romania comes less than a month after the initial launch that took place in the USA and 6 other countries and I am amazed by the speed with which Apple moved this year. Last year iPhone 4 was launched in Romania 3 months after the launch in the USA, but this year we will have the device in stores on November 11, less than a month away from the launch on the American continent.
Orange and Vodafone they have already announced that they will bring the device into stock and on November 4th they will open pre-order sessions for it. Both operators already sell iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 and this will not change, we will have iPhone 4S included next to them. Friday at 0:00 we will find out the prices that the operators will ask for the new terminal of the Apple company and I am sure that many of you are very curious to find out how much they will have to take out of their pockets to receive the new iPhone 4S at home.
Well, I recommend you to look at the subscription pages for iPhone 4 Orange si Vodafone because a lot will not change. From what I managed to find out, the purchase prices will remain the same or will change, but the difference will be small, and in the case of subscriptions, the exact same thing will happen. In terms of costs, don't expect major changes because they won't come, at least that's what I've found out so far. The two operators will also launch the 64 GB version of the iPhone 4S, and the difference between the 4 GB iPhone 32S and the 4 GB iPhone 64S could be exactly the difference between the 4 GB iPhone 16 and the 4 GB iPhone 32. Orange France iPhone 4S 64 GB for sale with €400 for the subscription and I expect Orange and Vodafone to do the exact same thing.
I don't know anything about Cosmote, they haven't even announced that they will launch the iPhone 4S, but it is very likely that they will do it tomorrow or even Friday. In conclusion, expect to pay for the iPhone 4S exactly what you would have paid today for the iPhone 4, but also take into account the fact that everything I told you above could change by Friday, although I for one don't think so this thing. Loyalty prices differ depending on the subscription.
Most likely, the prices will be kept. Now the question remains if the operators will do at the beginning, like last year, to sell more on subscriptions with new numbers than for existing customers. At least at Vodafone, many people complained about this
Zaone, do you get your 4s?
What will the price be like for the iPhone 4 or 3gs subscription now that the 4s appears at the operators?
It's very good if they stay at the same price, as with the iPhone 4, for those who are willing to pay about €50 per month, it would be better if they did something with these snipes, many bought the iPhone 4 for 739 lei (cosmopolitan) at ab and they didn't pay anything... I'm not willing to pay that much for a subscription, so I bought a neverlock one... just fine!
ZaOne already has a 4s!
@Gruescu Rafael: How long have you been reading iDevice.ro?
An iPhone 4s of 64 GB in Italy costs around 800e
LOL, reading the title I was thinking that we would see published a comparison table with prices and subscriptions, and sometimes only some links to the current offer and unsubstantiated assumptions... The conclusion is, then, that nothing is known about the topic in the title yet concrete, and when I realize that I know nothing, I am wise, according to Socrates. Thanks for the lesson in wisdom, @zaone! 😀
@Tigris Regalis: I also expected to receive emails from them with leaks from subscriptions, that didn't happen. You were expecting some useless things at the moment.
I spoke to Cosmote, customer relations and the shop, they didn't know what the iPhone 4s is. They haven't received any information. How foreign was the subject, I think the year it appears. Do you have other more conclusive and accurate information?
Friday zero o'clock means Friday morning, right?
It means exactly 0:00, that is 12 at night.
It's still not very clear to me! At 0.01 on Friday can we place the pre-order or on Saturday morning at 0.01? Thank you!
Zaone, what do you think, will 4s be given when renewing the subscription to Orange in the first phase?
CystZ. I do not believe. However, iP4 is a premium product... first (until after Christmas) I will sell it without an extension and then in January on starvation... let's talk... at least that's what I think. Other opinions…?!?
It also appeared in Cosmote on the page...
@zaone: They are not "useless things" at all, but possibly premature... although it should not be, as long as they announced the phone, it was normal to announce the rest of the "details".
