How much should an iPhone be priced in your opinion?

An iPhone 5s for example.

About what it is.

It isn't too expensive… You get a lot of quality in terms of materials, design, and support for the little extra you pay… And you usually collect that and then some on the flip side when you sell it.

Plus for a luxury item… The current price is a bargain. Have a look at what a Leica Camera, Omega Watch, Armani Suit, or Mercedes automobile costs over and above lower quality brands.

It's worth the price on a contract. ($200)

$700 off contract is a little high, maybe like $500-$600

  • Your opinion: Best protective case for an iPhone? It seems the Otterbox is the most go-to brand but does a Griffin case do just as well? What other brands work? I'm new to the iPhone world and I don't really want to drop and damage an expensive phone.
  • Where to buy a low priced iPhone 5? I understand nothings going to be really cheap but £200 or under would be preferable. I've checked eBay but can't find any. And i would rather not go on mad bid or anything. Any suggestions? (I don't mind it being second hand, i don't mind it being damaged either).
  • Where can I get a reasonably priced iphone? I'd prefer brand new? I'm currently on a contract with Verizon and can't upgrade til February. But was thinking maybe some way to buy a phone compatible on Verizon elsewhere at a cheaper cost than what Verizon gives, then just putting it on my contract. If that is even possible. Would probably want a 5s or 6(all depending if there are no issues with them)
  • Where can i get a reasonably priced iPhone 5c/5s? - I live in London(UK) and I would like to buy a new iphone, atm I have a 4s and will sell that to help pay for a 5s/5c but I'm not sure where to buy it from
