When will the iPhone 5 price drop? - 1

The highly anticipated iPhone 5S will be unveiled tomorrow, September 10. I'm interested in buying a new iPhone 5 but only when Apple reduces its price. Will the price of the iPhone 5 drop tomorrow, when its successor is introduced? Or will it drop when the iPhone 5S is available for pre-order or to the public (rumoured to be in retail stores September 20)?

Does anyone remember how it was when the iPhone 4S's price was reduced?

Once the iPhone 5s is released, the price of the iPhone 5 will be reduced to almost half the price it was.

Apple, Wireless carriers, national retailers, etc will NOT price drop the Iphone 5 to $99, as the Apple pattern goes since 2007, until the Iphone 5S / 6 is being sold…

a press event doesn't mean jack squat… The new iphone MUST be on the shef in order for everyone to price drop the 5 16GB model to $99… And the 4s gets phased out, reduced to 8GB model ONLY, and sold for $49… Again… Per the pattern of Apple since Iphone 2G in 2007

Yes. Apple usually reduces the price of the legacy iPhones the day the new flagship is announced.

  • With the past as a indicator, when will the iPhone 5 drop in price? IF Apple is announcing the release date of the iPhone 5s on September 10, when do you believe that the cost of the iPhone 5 will be reduced? The day of the announcement? The day of the release of the 5s? A month after release? Please let me know if you are using past experience or why you speculate the date you chose…
  • Will the price of the iPhone 4 drop? I want to buy an iPhone 4 off eBay without a contract… Will the price drop now that the iPhone 5 is out? And how much? When is the ideal time to buy it?
  • Will the iPhone 6s price drop with the release of the iPhone SE next week? I've been thinking of getting the 6s for a while now and I know the price has dropped quite a bit since it's release but I want to know if it's still worth waiting a bit if it'll go down again once the new phone comes out. I know previously in iPhone history this is usually what happens but considering the fact that this phone will be cheaper I don't know if the same thing would happen. Any info would be great, thanks!
  • Will the IPhone 5 be considered cool and will the price drop? So I want to get an IPhone but its too much money that I can't really afford so I'm thinking of getting an IPhone 5. But will the IPhone 5 price drop once it comes out and will it still be considered cool? Because one the IPhone 5 came out alot of people got the 5 and considered the 4S to be boring.
