When Will The iPhone 5s Price Drop?

I've being eyeing the iPhone for years now. My parents refuse to get me one mostly because of the expensive prices (I can only get an unlocked one since I have MetroPCS ugh) and the price is $649 JUST for the 16GB one for iPhone 5s.

The only thing is that I'm not exactly sure about is when the price will drop for the 5s? Will it go down a bit when the iPhone 6 comes out? And if it does, when will it come out? If it doesn't, how long will I have to wait? A few months to a year?

I really like Apple products but I seriously am getting frustrated with the prices and also with how it goes from one iPhone to the next just like THAT.

Thanks. X

(P.S. I refuse to wait a long time so if I have to, I will make my own money to buy the dang phone! Lemonade anyone? XD)

When a new version is released.

The iPhone 5s prices will drop when their is another POPULAR phone with that company.

There usually aren't any retailers that discount an unlocked iPhone, so you'll have to wait until the next iPhone comes out in a few months. Since you're already on MetroPCS which will eventually be integrated into the T-Mobile network, I would just recommend switching to T-Mobile now and using their EIP. T-Mobile's network is much better than Metro's at this point. Look these terms up if you don't know the definition.

So far, I only heard that the new iPhone is scheduled to be released in October.
(Of course, many people who observed the releasing times of Apple products see a pattern where Apple usually releases it in October (for their iPhones) and November (for their iPads). And usually their future iProducts are officially announced in September. )

Sadly, I would not expect the iPhone 5S to drop down after the immediate release of the iPhone 6. Apple will probably drop their cheapest phone (5C) first in price and then the more expensive model (5S) a few months later.
(Same thing happened when iPhone 5 was the new phone, 4 dropped immediately, 4S went down a few months after.)

Of course, this is a prediction. But I believe this would happen because its a common strategy for Apple to follow. (Look what happened with the iPad 2, finally went down after 3 years in the market while the iPad 4 went down after less than a year and then suddenly brought back.)

As for me, I given up on Apple. They pretty much release the same thing with minor improvements or like one major improvement a slap a high price sticker with that. (Retina Display Mini, anyone? E3e') Of course, their app store and games is the only thing I keep my iPad for. Otherwise, switched from iPhone to Galaxy S5 and never going back to them for their phones.

The price is goin to do 1000 dolars or more in the first month

Probably in September or October this year. Of course if you keep an eye out most major retailers do run specials.
