Price drop in iPhone 5 after 5S comes out?
I want to get a 32GB iPhone 5, but since there are rumors of the 5S coming out soon, I'm willing to wait for the price drop. I don't need the new features of the 5S and I'm fine getting a 5 for a cheaper price. I noticed a lot of retail stores don't sell 32GB models for the iPhone 4 anymore, so will they still sell 32GB models for the 5 when the 5S comes out? Also, how long does it usually take for the price drop when a new iPhone model comes out?
When the next iPhone comes out the 5 would only be available in a 16GB model. Only the then current flagship iPhone would be available in multiple models.
The 5 would then be $99.
The price drop happens the same day as the announcement of the next model.

shall I continue with the simple pattern?
- Should I buy an iPhone 5 after Christmas/beginning of 2015 or will the 5S drop in price (Sim Free)? So I'm going to buy an iPhone at the end of this year, either the 5 or 5S, probably after Christmas towards the beginning of January, and i was wondering if i should buy the Sim Free refurbished iPhone 5 from Tesco at £299 (Reviews are all positive, 5 star) or will the price of the Sim Free 5S drop after Christmas due to the 6 and 6+? (Don't think i will go for a 5C not too keen on them tbh!)
- Iphone 4 price drop after iphone 5 comes out? I really want to get an iphone 4 16gb but I'm only 12 so its kind of hard. The iphone 4 16gb is about $300 or $400. Will the price of it go down after the iphone 5 comes out? And if it does? How much? Also when is the iphone 5 coming out? Because I've heard a lot of different things.
- How much will the price drop on iPhone 6 once the new one comes out? I'm planning on getting the iPhone 6, but I don't mind waiting another 2-3 months for the price to drop once the new one comes out. I'm just not sure how much it will drop, or whether it's worth the wait?
- How much will the iPhone 4S cost after the iPhone 5 comes out? At the moment, online, pre-orders for the 5 are 800 dollars, while the 4S is $680. Will the price of the 4S price fall any lower when the iPhone 5 is actually released? Without contract.
