Will the iPhone 4 drop in price or stay the same?

We're getting my sister an iPhone 4 since its $450 to have it unlocked since a iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 cost too much to be bought unlocked. She is upgrading big time since her phone is the chocolate 1st gen from Verizon and I wonder since the IPhone 5s is coming out this month will the iPhone 4 drop in price to somewhere lower than $450? And if you know the what's the new price is if it does I would gladly appreciate it.

Iphone blows

Considering that precedence has shown that the prices for the older iPhone models has gone down shortly after the release of the latest iPhone model, I would be willing to bet that the prices of the iPhone 4 will go down. The question of by how much remains to be seen, but will likely be found out after Apple's iPhone announcement, on Sep 10.

I don't think it will drop honestly

The 4 will be discontinued when the 5S is announced. The price would then basically be left up to whoever is selling them.

  • 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 price stay the same? I was thinking to get the iPhone 5, I just got the iPhone 4 and I don't want to get the iPhone 5 just yet. But I heard it's only $199 for 16GB. That's pretty good. But will the price stay the same or will it go higher? I was think maybe December to get the phone maybe Boxing Day.
